Parentheses chords by The Blow

..Verse..
Em
Some philosophies fuel a belief in the self,
Em
constructed to keep one's goods on one's own shelf.
Em
Built well you're a strong letter I,
Em
with your feet on the ground and your head to the sky.
Em
Now and then you can bend,
              Em
it's okay to lean over, lean over my way.
  Em
You fear that you can't do it all,
             G
and you're riiiight.
                          Em
Even  day takes relief every day
            Em
from its work making light from the night.

..Chorus..
           C
When you're holding me
     C
we make a pair of parentheses.
      C
There's plenty of space to encase
                   G
whatever weird way my mind goes,
                 C
I know I’ll be safe in these arms. (x2)


..Bridge..
                   C
If something in the deli aisle makes you cry
    C
of course I’ll put my arm around you
                   G
and I’ll walk you outside,
                  C
through the sliding doors,
              G
why would I mind? (x2)


              G
You're not a baby if you feel the world.
              G
All of the babies can feel the world. That's why they cry.


..Chorus..
           C
And when you're holding me
     C
we make a pair of parentheses.
      C
There's plenty space to encase
                   G
whatever weird way my mind goes,
                 C
I know I’ll be safe in these arms. (x2)


..Bridge..
                   C
If something in the deli aisle makes you cry
    C
you know I’ll put my arm around you
                   G
and I’ll walk you outside,
                  C
through the sliding doors,
              G
why would I mind?

              G
All of the babies can feel the world. That's why they cry.



..Chorus..
           C
And when you're holding me
     C
we make a pair of parentheses.
      C
There's plenty space to encase
                   G
whatever weird way my mind goes,
                 C
