Tuning: Standard (E A D G B E)

🎸 Verse 1:
Bb              Eb
Your eyes are full
Bb              Eb
Full of the future of us
Bb                      Eb
The air changes as you look across
Cm                      C
At me in that wondering way



🎸 Verse 2:
Bb              Eb
It is as if
Bb              Eb
I knew you before we spoke
Bb              Eb
Do our hearts know something we don't?
Bb              Eb              Cm
Conspiring, converging without giving us any say

🎸 Chorus 1:
Eb              Bb
You, sing me to sleep
D       Gm
Talk down my walls
Eb              Bb
Look through my windows as I wait
D       Eb      Bb
You could be the thief
D
I give the key to

🎸 Verse 3:
Bb              Eb

Bb              Eb
With secrets and gestures and looks
Bb              Eb
With sonnets from second-hand books
Bb              Eb              Cm
Playing the chords in me nobody knew how to play

🎸 Chorus 2:
Eb              Bb
You, sing me to sleep
D       Gm
Talk down my walls
Eb              Bb
Look through my windows as I wait
D       Eb      Bb
You could be the thief
D
I give the key to

🎸 Bridge:
Eb      Bb      D       Gm
It fits in your hand like water in rain
Eb      Bb      D       Gm
It unlocks our two different selves
Eb      Bb      D       Gm
And shows we are the same
Eb      Bb      D       Gm
Rather than wait 'til I put me out for the taking
Cm
You're breaking
Eb
You're breaking
Cm
You're breaking into my heart
Bb              Eb

And I'm letting you
