Chords with lyrics
..Verse..
E minorEm
Some philosophies fuel a belief in the self,
E minorEm
constructed to keep one's goods on one's own shelf.
E minorEm
Built well you're a strong letter I,
E minorEm
with your feet on the ground and your head to the sky.
E minorEm
Now and then you can bend,
E minorEm
it's okay to lean over, lean over my way.
E minorEm
You fear that you can't do it all,
G+G
and you're riiiight.
E minorEm
Even day takes relief every day
E minorEm
from its work making light from the night.
..Chorus..
C majorC
When you're holding me
C majorC
we make a pair of parentheses.
C majorC
There's plenty of space to encase
G+G
whatever weird way my mind goes,
C majorC
I know I’ll be safe in these arms. (x2)
..Bridge..
C majorC
If something in the deli aisle makes you cry
C majorC
of course I’ll put my arm around you
G+G
and I’ll walk you outside,
C majorC
through the sliding doors,
G+G
why would I mind? (x2)
G+G
You're not a baby if you feel the world.
G+G
All of the babies can feel the world. That's why they cry.
..Chorus..
C majorC
And when you're holding me
C majorC
we make a pair of parentheses.
C majorC
There's plenty space to encase
G+G
whatever weird way my mind goes,
C majorC
I know I’ll be safe in these arms. (x2)
..Bridge..
C majorC
If something in the deli aisle makes you cry
C majorC
you know I’ll put my arm around you
G+G
and I’ll walk you outside,
C majorC
through the sliding doors,
G+G
why would I mind?
G+G
All of the babies can feel the world. That's why they cry.
..Chorus..
C majorC
And when you're holding me
C majorC
we make a pair of parentheses.
C majorC
There's plenty space to encase
G+G
whatever weird way my mind goes,
C majorC
