Intro:
C Em Am Am7/G F F G
Verse:
C Em Am Am7/G
What are those wings? What is that rust?
F G
What are those tattered things that make you look like Icarus?
C Em Am Am7/G
Somebody stole your fairy dust
F G
And now the weight inside your chest betrays your wanderlust
Chorus:
F G
So you fall into the waves
Am Am7/G F
Of a thousand questions asked but none explained
F G
And now all, all you can do
Am Am7/G F
Is to trust that I'll be waiting here to carry you
G
I will carry you
Verse:
C Em Am Am7/G
Spectators come from far away
F G
Like they have tickets to the circus on a Saturday
C Em Am Am7/G
Caught like a child in a parade
F
You spread your arms but when you're wounded
G
You can't fly away
Chorus:
F G
So you fall into the waves
Am Am7/G F
Of a thousand questions asked but none explained
F G
And now all, all you can do
Am Am7/G F
Is to trust that I'll be waiting here to carry you
G
I will carry you
Bridge:
Am F C
Smoke and feathers floating through the sky
Am
Like the tears that you cry
Am7/G F C
Drops of melting wax rain down like fire
Am
And you're so very tired
Chorus:
F G
So you fall into the waves
Am Am7/G F
Of a thousand questions asked but none explained
F G
And now all, all you can do
Am Am7/G F Am
Is to trust that I'll be waiting here to carry you, carry you,
F G
I will carry you, carry you
