Key: F#m
Tuning: E A D G B E
Intro:
F#m A Bm D E
Verse 1:
F#m D
Wings are getting tired, I'm on my final branch
Bm D
The rest have crumbled under weight of loves that didn't last
F#m D
And I ground down all my teeth from shivering at my own mess
Bm D
If my thoughts were an empty room, you'd surely see your breath
Bm D
'Cause this cold that I've been feeling can't be quenched by quilts or flame
F#m E
I need the comfort of another to end my lonesome ways
Bm D
But it seems far-fetched that out there wait two eyes that can't see me
F#m E
And shame has spoken, if I'm chosen, she must be so naive
Chorus:
F#m
Oh, I had cuts on my feet
A
'Cause I was running all night
Bm
Stumbling blind through the streets
D A
I didn't care if I died
F#m
And when I thought I was lost
A
I caught a sight of horizon
Bm
She broke through the fog
D
And pulled me on
N.C.
I needed light and she was dawn
F#m A Bm D E
Verse 2:
F#m D
Oh, I'm flattered that you want me, but there's something on my chest
Bm D
I don't have much to give you please don't steal what I have left
Bm D
'Cause the rain is back, it's patiently waiting for a sign
F#m E
To cover every inch of me when your roof gets bored and tired
Bm D
But she brought a finger toward her lips, then showed me where she'd bruised
F#m E
Said, "If that cloud is coming, I'll sit under it with you"
Chorus:
F#m
Oh, I had cuts on my feet
A
'Cause I was running all night
Bm
Stumbling blind through the streets
D A
I didn't care if I died
F#m
And when I thought I was lost
A
I caught a sight of horizon
Bm
She broke through the fog
D
And pulled me on
N.C.
I needed light and she was dawn
F#m A Bm D E
Bridge:
D
Oh, I was rock bottom, didn't think I would leave
F#m E A
'Til your shoulder touched mine when you sat next to me
Dmaj7 D
Yeah, I was dead-weight drunk, sippin' on anger's wine
F#m E
I've been sobered up since you entered my life
Chorus:
F#m
Oh, I had cuts on my feet
A
'Cause I was running all night
Bm
Stumbling blind through the streets
D
I didn't care if I died
F#m
And when I thought I was lost
A
I caught a sight of horizon
Bm
She broke through the fog
D
And pulled me on
N.C.
I needed light and she was dawn
