Intro:

C F G C F G F
 
Verse:
C
When I was wandering anywhere I could
Em
Far beyond the riverbank, deeper than the woods
        F
When my naked eye said, "I'm gonna find you"
    C                         G
The night sky was nothing but stars
          C
When it's all I can manage, despite how I try
     Em
When somebody's looking where I like to hide
  F
I remember the moon while I swim along the bottom
       C                       G     C Em
When I trust you, it isn't too hard
Verse:
C
When I could give away everything I had
Em
Leave a whole dream in a brown paper bag
         F
When the time went by, it said, "Man, that was easy"
     C                    G
Like honey was laid in my hand
       C
When I lie to myself, or I'm honest at best
   Em
Or sell my whole story till none of it's left
         F
When the sun goes down like promises matter
     C                       G
When that's something I understand
 
Chorus:
         Am
When the ghost I like to deny
    Em
Has haunted me all of my life
        F
Singing all its songs in my corners and cobwebs
     Dm                   G
When I let them follow me home
             Dm                      G
When there's so many homes that I've known
        Dm
So many lives that love has given me
F                                C  Em
Grace notes with meat on the bone
 
Verse:
C
When I was being it, whatever it was
Em
So brave or broken, but only just enough
        F
When my self-respect cackled, "What were you thinking "
         C                          G
Until it walked off the edge of the world
       C
When I kiss on a stone like they all roll away
   Em
Or call upon my demons when I don't want to play
       F
When I think of a cost like light from a diamond
     C                  G
Like freedom, feeling a pearl
 
Chorus:
         Am
When the garden I've watered with tears
       Em
Is beautiful this time of year
            F
And all the blossoms fall when their petals get heavy
       Dm                 G
When I let them follow me home
             Dm                      G
When there's so many homes that I've known
        Dm
So many lives that love has given me
F
Grace notes with meat on the bone

Bridge:
    Am
The ghost you like to deny
G
Haunts you the rest of your life
 
Verse:
C
When I would say it, though no one was around
   Em
Or cry like some children at a carnival clown
   F
Forever was a word like a name in the sidewalk
       C                   G
Or the wind blowing open a door
       C
When I make what I'm missing or claim what I stole
        Em
Or live like I'm digging just for filling in a hole
       F
When I lose so much, I just burst into laughter
     C                           G
Like someone who knows what it's for
 
Chorus:
         Am
When the day I pray never comes
Em
Presses me under its thumb
              F
When all this water flows, and every wave makes an ocean
     Dm                   G
When I let them follow me home
             Dm                      G
When there's so many homes that I've known
        Dm
So many lives that love has given me
F                            C     Em C Em C
