🎸 Verse 1:
FF      C majorC
 Out in the loading bay light
Bb majorBb      FF
 Watching the fog recede
FF      C majorC        Bb majorBb
 Divided the flame you slowly gave to me
G minorGm     DmDm
 Sign of relief in my mind
FF      C majorC
 But I only caught you the one time
G minorGm     DmDm            FF      C majorC
 Later I'd watch you and wonder what it was like

FF      C majorC        Bb majorBb
 How do you bear the full weight?
       FF
 How does the long way feel?
FF       C majorC         Bb majorBb
 Kneading your hand too tight against the wheel?
G minorGm      DmDm
 How do you stay in that tower?
FF      C majorC
 How do you reckon your own power?
G minorGm      DmDm       FF    C majorC
 How does the wheel not turn hour on hour on hour?

It's all that I could take

 I was trying to find my way
Bb majorBb   FF
 I was thinking my mind was made

It's all that I could take
