Tuning: Standard (E A D G B E)

Intro:

D  Em  Bm  G

Verse 1:

D                     Em
It fell apart just as it began
     Bm                G
In a flash of defiance
D                   Em
You won't take the initiative
       Bm            G
But the rest was mine
D               Em
On demand I will understand
       Bm                       G
What a freefall could feel like
D                Em
You became but a fabled dream
           Bm            G
That would blur in time

Pre-Chorus:

A              Bm
But a restless heart
A                    G         D
’Cause sometimes the spark you know
    G         Bm
How sweet the glow
     Em                 G/B
That kicks you off your line
          D      Em  Bm  G
Hold your nerve


Chorus:

D
I was not right
Em
I was bent out
Bm               G
And still left unshown
D
Weighing on that
Em
Time in anguish
Bm             G
Now it left me broke

D  Em  Bm  G


Verse 2:

D                      Em
Is this the sound of a moving ground
       Bm                     G
Or the echoes of self-doubt?
D                       Em
I found the way to some peace of mind
       Bm              G
That I still can't use
D                Em
To meditate on a shifting sand
      Bm                      G
Takes steadfast and sure feet
D                Em
You became but a fabled dream
           Bm             G
That would stir in time


Pre-Chorus:

A              Bm
But a restless heart
A                    G         D
'Cause sometimes the spark you know
    G         Bm
How sweet the glow
     Em                 G/B
That kicks you off your line
          D      Em  Bm  G
Hold your nerve


Chorus:

D
I was not right
Em
I was bent out
Bm               G
And still left unsure
D
Weighing on that
Em
Time in anguish
Bm             G
Now it left me broke

D
When you called me
Em
I was anxious
Bm           G
And I felt exposed
D
But if all this
Em
Might be worth it
Bm            G
Then I had to know

D  Em  Bm  G

D
I’m not angry
Em
For the time lost
Bm                 G
That's the turning wheel
D
When I knew then
Em
When I know now
Bm          G
It was justified
D
Baby, all that
Em
Sweet connection
Bm                  G
Sometimes takes its time
