Verse 1:
A augmentedA
With the conviction of the woman you made me,

I find
A augmentedA
Blades of grass from the island you lent me,

I find
E MajorE        D MajorD
On every floor, in every drawer
A augmentedA
Though I'm not an island, I'm a body of water
A augmentedA
Jeweled in the evening, a solitary daughter
E MajorE           D MajorD
If picked at by noon, by midnight I'm ruined

Chorus:
B minorBm                    A augmentedA
Leave me alone to the books and the radio snow
E MajorE                         A augmentedA
Leave me alone to the charcoal and the dancing shadow


Verse 2:
A augmentedA
If each blade of grass was meant here for me
A augmentedA
Split apart, sliced, and wedged in for me
E MajorE           D MajorD
Who's gonna treat it? I'm not going to need it


Chorus:
B minorBm                    A augmentedA
Leave me alone to the books and the radio snow
E MajorE                         A augmentedA
Leave me alone to the charcoal and the dancing shadow

A augmentedA
I am a lake, I don't need to be watered
A augmentedA
I am an ocean, I don't need to barter

Interlude:
E MajorE
I play with the moon, my only friend
A augmentedA
It pushes it pulls me, I don't pay rent
AsusAsus
I don't need the walls to bury my grave
A augmentedA
I don't need your company to feel saved
E MajorE
I don't need the sunlight, my curtains don't draw
A augmentedA
I don't need objects to keep or to pawn
AsusAsus
I don't want your pity, concern, or your scorn
A augmentedA
I'm calm by my lonesome, I feel right at home
E MajorE
And when the wind blows I get to dancing
A augmentedA
My fun is the rhythm of air when it's prancing

          -repeat-

E MajorE                         A augmentedA
Leave me alone to the charcoal and the dancing shadow
