Bronwyn chords by Hannah Frances

• Difficulty: Beginner 👶

A             A       G       D     A
The brilliance of the day waits for you to wake again
A                      A          G
Patient in the way I waited for you to love me again
A            G        D
Bronwyn, I lost the song
A             G  D
Gone when I sang
A             G       D   Em        D
Bronwyn, I lost the way home where I knew

Verse 2:
            A              G       D
The ground smokes as it burns to hell
A            G            D
Release me from this sweltered land
     A                      G        D
I stand holding to the shepherd's hand
      A                 G        D
The man praised and punished me too

Chorus:
A            G        D
Bronwyn, I lost the song
A          G  D
Gone when I sang
A             G       D    A          D
Bronwyn, I lost the way home where I knew
     A                         D
How to love you and he loved too

Verse 3:
            A            G   D
It was an honor to have loved you
     A                 G      D      A        G         D
An honor to have been buried in the ruin and held to the end
          A     G     D            A     G
To have woken inside you, in the hollow hand

Bridge:
A                         G       D
Aching and frought in the face of God
A    A7    D              A         G      D
I do not flinch at the blinding sight of light
   A                        G         D
I press to the chest for a breath of life
     A            D
I kneel down and pray

Chorus:
A                         G               D
Bronwyn, I heard the song in the vanishing day
A                        G         Em      G   D
Bronwyn, I laid you down at the mouth of the cave

Outro:
A              G       D       Em        G    D
For no one is mine to hold and no one holds still
    Em         G       D
And no one is left behind
     Em        G         D              A
And no one remains but loss as the centerfold
A                         Em       D
As the heart swells to loosen the ribs
A            D
Loosen the ribs
A            D
Loosen the ribs
A            D
Loosen the ribs
