Verse 1:
G                                            Cadd9
    There’s a creek I would walk to when my house felt like a locked room
        Bmb6/11                         Cadd9
Lean on little wooden bridges, watch the eels playing cool
       G                               Cadd9
I could walk a little further down the dirt path on the shoulder
       Bmb6/11                  Cadd9
To the biggest waterfall my city limits could produce

Pre-Chorus:
      A7sus4
Boy it fell
Bm7b13   Cadd9
 Kept on falling
      A7sus4
Biting down
N.C.
Cutting rock
Bm7b13 Cadd9
 Slow erosion

Chorus:
        A7sus4*      Cadd9
Lay me here on the stone
        A7sus4*           Cadd9
I’m only here to feed mosquitos
     A7sus4*     Cadd9
Only skin, only blood
         G                   Cadd9
A little less now than there was

Verse 2:
   G               Cadd9
In January ‘23 the creek became a raging sea
   Bmb6/11                               Cadd9
A great torrеntial flood that ripped the bridges from thе banks
     G                                 Cadd9
The soft slope of the valley ravaged, cracked, and wounded badly
        Bmb6/11                  Cadd9
Fallen giants breathing heavily across the severed track

Pre-Chorus:
     A7sus4  Bm7b13
They fell

Stayed fallen
      A7sus4
Roots exposed
N.C.
Reaching high
Bm7b13        Cadd9
  Something’s growing

Chorus:
        A7sus4*     Cadd9
Lay me here by the bones
         A7sus4*         Cadd9
I’m only here to feed mosquitos
     A7sus4     Cadd9
Only skin, only blood
         G                   Cadd9
A little less now than there was
         G                   Cadd9
A little less now than there was

Solo:
A7sus4* Cadd9 A7sus4* Cadd9 A7sus4* Cadd9 G Cadd9 G Cadd9

Verse 3:
        G
I still go, it’s been a year now
         Cadd9
Past the chain link fence that keeps out
         Bmb6/11
With the bridges all still blown out
          Cadd9
You can’t amble anymore
  G                        Cadd9
Overgrown a bit and I take off my shoes to cross it
         Bmb6/11
Find the current has forgotten
       Cadd9
How it felt to break the world

Pre-Chorus:
     A7sus4  Bm7b13
If I fall
    Cadd9
I’ll fall in
        A7sus4
Soaking wet
N.C.
Fallen pride
Bm7b13 Cadd9
Tui laughing

Chorus:
         A7sus4*
Leave me here
       Cadd9
Let me go
         A7sus4*         Cadd9
I’m only here to feed mosquitos
     A7sus4*     Cadd9
Only skin, only blood
         G                  Cadd9
A little less now than there was

Chorus:
              A7sus4*
Just leave me here
      Cadd9
On my own
        A7sus4*            Cadd9
I only breathe to feed the egos
     A7sus4*     Cadd9
Only flesh, only blood
           G              Cadd9
I’m letting go of what I’m not
         G                  Cadd9
A little less now than there was
         G                  Cadd9
A little less now than there was
