Chords with lyrics
Verse 1:
DbDb
I came to be here in the garden
Eb/Db
I came to walk alone
Gb/Db
To hear the quiet conversation
DbDb Dbsus2Dbsus2
Between my footsteps and the stone
DbDb
I came to find some self acceptance
Eb/Db
I came searching for my truth
Gb/Db
But something's telling me to go
DbDb
Where it's far too dark to look
Chorus:
AbAb
Oh, I can see you Mara
DbDb GbGb DbDb
I see you standing there
AbAb
You're with me in the dark
BbmBbm GbGb DbDb
I hear your questions in the air
DbDb Bm/ABm/A GbGb
Oh, Mara, why do you stand there?
Verse 2:
DbDb
You have come here in the silence
Eb/Db
In the breath between the rain
Gb/Db
The storm distorts the garden's beauty
DbDb Dbsus2Dbsus2
and leaves me wondering again
DbDb
Distracting you is not the answer
Eb/Db
If the question you relay,
Gb/Db
is not how to design something
DbDb
But why build it anyway?
Chorus:
AbAb
Oh, I can see you Mara
DbDb GbGb DbDb
I see you standing there
AbAb
You're with me in the dark
BbmBbm GbGb DbDb
Your questions working through the air
DbDb Bm/ABm/A Gbmaj7Gbmaj7
Oh, Mara, why do you stand there?

Verse 3:
DbDb
Have you come here weak and hungry
Eb/Db
To feed upon the scraps?
Gb/Db
Do you sit patient in the bushes
DbDb Dbsus2Dbsus2
waiting to attack?
DbDb
But I won't stomp my feet in anger, no
Eb/Db
Or beat upon my chest
Gb/Db
Instead, I ask that you allow me
DbDb
to talk with you instead
Chorus:
AbAb
Oh, I can see you Mara
DbDb GbGb DbDb
I see you standing there

You're with me in the dark
