Chords with lyrics

E MajorE
I watched the sea retreat

As joyful rocks came out to breath
A augmentedA
Feathers on stilts picked at the leaves
BB
Blue and white shells underneath my feet

    C#m7C#m7     A augmentedA
And a golden-rose fire
            E MajorE
Broken to coins on the water

By the tide and the way she sways
   B4    BB
She sways the way she sways my mind

     C#m7C#m7       A augmentedA
And the cold-bitter salt water
           E MajorE
Up to my hips as I stripped to my knicks
Plastic bag in my fist
     B4
Muscles tense, I lament
     BB
For the poison in the beauty

(C#m7C#m7 A augmentedA C#m7C#m7 A augmentedA)

E MajorE
Our fingertips searched the beach

For smooth stones to skip troughs and peaks
  A augmentedA
It takes me back to the river weeks
BB
I saved two or three for Daniel Lee

   C#m7C#m7     A augmentedA
And a golden-rose fire
            E MajorE
Broken to coins on the water

By the tide and the way she sways
   B4    BB
She sways the way she sways my mind

     C#m7C#m7       A augmentedA
And the cold-bitter salt water
           E MajorE
Up to my hips as I stripped to my knicks
Plastic bag in my fist
     B4
Muscles tense, I lament
     BB
For the poison in the beauty

(C#m7C#m7 A augmentedA C#m7C#m7 A augmentedA)

      E MajorE    A augmentedA
Nothing's perfect
    E MajorE
I know
          A augmentedA
But discomfort's worth it
         E MajorE
If we want to grow
         C# minorC#m A augmentedA
There's not much time
      E MajorE
Before we go
            BB     E MajorE BB A augmentedA
So I will do my best today for tomorrow

   C#m7C#m7     A augmentedA
And a golden-rose fire
            E MajorE
Broken to coins on the water

By the tide and the way she sways
   B4    BB
She sways the way she she she she

     C#m7C#m7       A augmentedA
And the cold-bitter salt water
           E MajorE
Up to my hips as I stripped to my knicks
Plastic bag in my fist
     B4
Muscles tense, I lament
     BB
For the poison in the beauty

(C#m7C#m7 A augmentedA C#m7C#m7 A augmentedA)
(C#m7C#m7 A augmentedA C#m7C#m7 A augmentedA)
(C#m7C#m7 A augmentedA C#m7C#m7 A augmentedA)
(C#m7C#m7 A augmentedA C#m7C#m7 A augmentedA)
