Chords with lyrics

Verse 1:

     A minorAm     FF   C majorC
I've held birds with broken wings

    A minorAm   FF    C majorC
Between all my changing leaves

    A minorAm         FF     C majorC
Keep my branches strong to hold their perch

    A minorAm         FF     C majorC
But my roots can't seem to quench my thirst

Instrumental:
A minorAm C majorC   A minorAm FF C majorC G+G

Verse 2:

    A minorAm      FF   C majorC
And the birds hate us naked trees

     A minorAm      FF     C majorC
It's our honesty that makes them leave

     A minorAm     FF
While the dark flock hovers

C majorC     G+G     A minorAm   FF    C majorC
Wondering what would help me keep my big mouth shut

Chorus:

  FF       C majorC    A minorAm
And I will always tame my mind

FF          C majorC    A minorAm
What hand grafts us to what vine?

FF         C majorC  A minorAm
While the stars quietly speak

  FF  C majorC
Of mystery

   FF  C majorC
Or futility

FF         C majorC
Which will keep me steady on my feet?

Instrumental:
A minorAm C majorC   A minorAm FF C majorC

Verse 3:

     A minorAm        FF     C majorC
You have built nests from all of my bark

    A minorAm   FF    C majorC
For too long to tell us apart

    A minorAm    FF       C majorC
But my branches always seem to break

    A minorAm       FF     C majorC
When I look for you inside their shapes

Chorus:

    FF        C majorC    A minorAm
And the earth will never tame its mind

FF          C majorC    A minorAm
What foot crushed us to what wine?

FF        C majorC   A minorAm
While the ocean loudly speaks

  FF   C majorC
Of creativity

  FF  C majorC
Or vanity

  FF         C majorC
But which will keep me steady on my feet?

End:

          C majorC    FF  C majorC
But they say, "You ask too many questions

       FF  G+G   A minorAm
You start too many fires

       FF   C majorC
You dream of resurrection

  FF     C majorC     G+G  C majorC
But you're too scared to die"
