Chords with lyrics
C majorC A minorAm
It's 6AM, I'm shivering beneath the bed sheets
DmDm
The pillowcase fell off last night when I
Fmaj7Fmaj7
held it in my arms.
C majorC
I read A minorAm
Short stories, while you twitched in your sleep beside me,
DmDm
your Fmaj7Fmaj7
Breath it fell so heavy, as I sat there in the dark
DmDm Fmaj7Fmaj7
And oh you whispered quiet, making friends beneath the
C majorC
Scenery of a sun cracked open sky beneath
E minorEm
the dark lids DmDm
Of your eyes. You were skipping stones and I was still alone
Fmaj7Fmaj7
When I turned off the light, scribbling
C majorC
onto sticky notes
G/Em
I am scared and that's the best that I can say
C majorC A minorAm
I work a job to pay the debt I owe my family,
DmDm
to pay back for
Fmaj7Fmaj7 C majorC
That one time I pushed your chin. All this hope I hold
A minorAm
just buries DmDm
Its evil in me out of sight, but it slips through a hole
Fmaj7Fmaj7
In my side I've seen another of me and you
C majorC A minorAm
So we'll climb in that Buick down 222, and I'll
DmDm
Close my eyes, the sun goes down each time
Fmaj7Fmaj7
I see the light
C majorC
I swear it's true. Because I've loved
down with this crown watching
A minorAm DmDm
Old dogs age without whimpering, and I find it hard to say that
Fmaj7Fmaj7
I am strong
C majorC A minorAm
But I'll be sure with each passing breath to read you
DmDm
Stories that are glimmering with the light that reflected
(let ring) Fmaj7Fmaj7
Off these marigolds that caught my neck when I hit
The ground
DmDm Fmaj7Fmaj7
And oh you whispered quiet, making friends beneath the
C majorC
Scenery of a sun cracked open sky beneath
E minorEm
the dark lids
Of your eyes.
DmDm
You were skipping stones and I was still alone
Fmaj7Fmaj7
When I turned off the light, scribbling
C majorC
onto sticky notes
E minorEm
I am scared and that's the best that I can say
(start quietly, then pick up towords the 3rd or 4th repetition
C majorC A minorAm
All we are is all we are and still I will become,
E minorEm
all I am and all
Fmaj7Fmaj7
I thought I can't recall because (X6)
DmDm Fmaj7Fmaj7
And oh you whispered quiet, making friends beneath the
C majorC
Scenery of a sun cracked open sky beneath
E minorEm
the dark lids
Of your eyes.
C majorC
You were skipping stones and I was still alone
Fmaj7Fmaj7
When I turned off the light, scribbling
C majorC
onto sticky notes
E minorEm
I am scared and that's the best that I can say
C majorC A minorAm
I'm still tugging on your hand, like when I was innocent
Fmaj7Fmaj7
We used to only lie when we needed sleep
(End on Fmaj7Fmaj7)
