version, but the chords are the same.

G+G
I'd like to tie today up in my hair,
A minorAm
like to collect the hours we still could dance
G+G A minorAm
for a jam jar on my nightstand.
G+G
I'd like to fly my spine like a kite,
A minorAm G+G
want to see you walk through that doorway and into this room
A minorAm
where I am waiting for you. You like the sea.
E minorEm
And how the sea began with a drop of sweat
C majorC
soaked into a cloth swiped across the brow of God
E minorEm
and how he wrung it out into sharp teeth to scales
C majorC
and how the carnivore was born.
G+G
And how he flung us forward into day and night
A minorAm
and how we floated down as if hot air balloons
G+G A minorAm
with consciences like faulty landings.
E minorEm A minorAm C majorC A minorAm G+G A minorAm
Our bodies skin thin and desirable, how I desire you.
E minorEm A minorAm C majorC A minorAm C majorC A minorAm C majorC
Our bodies, thin-skinned and desirable how I, how I desire you.
G+G A minorAm G+G A minorAm
