🎸 Verse:
      G             GM7
The air is visible around you, rising up and off your lips
    G7              Cadd9
In slow currents, and I watch as your face is framed in its
   G         GM7
Slow currents, drifting curls, a trailing path
  G7         Cadd9         G
A long drag becomes a tress of blue and ash

Let it burn all the way down

And I watch as it pirouettes and spins in slow motion
           Cadd9    Em7
A long drag becomes a slow dance
     Cadd9    G
In a halo of ember
