Verse 1:
D
I thought I knew the wind, I listened in
D                                 G
This smoke and clay, they wore me thin
G                                                                       D
We're spinning on a syllable that has the gall to bring the whole world down
   D
We tape it up and wear it out
   D                                        G
We let the blood soak through our calloused skin
G                                                                D
Take all of my lies and try to tie the knots that I can do without

Chorus:
     G
When I was a bird
        G                      D
I could see where the moon had turned
    G
The sky was alive
         G            D
And this wire of mine burned
     Bm               A                    G
Been lying with these words the whole damn time

Interlude:
D

Verse 2:
     D
When did my tongue begin to slow me
D                                 G
Let me take my time while keeping pace
   G
We break it down, the right and wrong
    G                                D
The thorns and roots I grew before I knew you

D
Witness all these pretty colors
D                                    G
Learning to behave, this ain't no race
G
Hear me through this dying day
    G                                     D
And all the words that were not meant for you

Chorus:
     G
When I was a bird
        G                      D
I could see where the moon had turned
    G
The sky was alive
         G            D
And this wire of mine burned
     Bm                A                    G
Been sleeping with the truth the whole damn time

        D
I would kill for a night in the pines or a dawn at sea
        D
I would kill for a night in the pines or a dawn at sea
        D
I would kill for a night in the pines or a dawn at sea
D  G  D  G  D  G   D  G
Ááááá

Been sleeping next to you the whole damn time
