Chords with lyrics
Tuning: EADGBE
C majorC A minorAm
Arms once bent towards me,
FF C majorC G+G
now caught in hesitation
C majorC A minorAm
Legs once dancing,
FF C majorC G+G
now wandering in place
A minorAm B minorBm C majorC A minorAm G+G
Words once promising,
C majorC A minorAm E minorEm
to do, to have, to hold
A minorAm B minorBm C majorC A minorAm G+G
What's worth saving,
C majorC A minorAm E minorEm
just to watch each other drown
G+G
A minorAm I wrong?
C majorC
Oh here we are, here we are, here we are, dear
A minorAm
Are we near to the end, saving our breath?
FF
Our histories bound, cold to our chest
C majorC G+G
Did I fail you? Did I fail love?
C majorC
Here I am stealing the heat from your back
A minorAm
Still tracing the wall where your shadow was cast
FF
With every voice whispering to us,
C majorC G+G
"It's not lost! It's not lost!"
C majorC A minorAm
I tried to love you in disguise
FF C majorC G+G
I built an altar to your silence
C majorC A minorAm
I meant to undraw every line
FF C majorC G+G
Wore your loneliness so fondly
A minorAm B minorBm C majorC A minorAm G+G
Could you keep the restless still?
C majorC A minorAm E minorEm
The future stuck inside your throat
A minorAm B minorBm C majorC A minorAm G+G
What's worth letting go?
C majorC FF A minorAm E minorEm G+G
I can't tell selfishness from love anymore
C majorC
Oh here we are, here we are, here we are, dear
A minorAm
Are we near to the end, straining to hold
C majorC FF C majorC
This ghost of a thing, alien being that was once love?
G+G
Is it still love?
C majorC
And here I am stealing the cloth from your back
A minorAm
Still pulling out every thread for a song
FF
And maybe I'll stay, or maybe I'll hear
C majorC G+G
The tiniest voice whispering to me
C majorC A minorAm FF
