D Dsus E*

Verse:
D                                E*
Are you floating in the cosmos, finally free from time
           D                        E*
While I’m down here on the highway looking for signs?
D              Dsus      E*
Will I finally find me a place to draw a line
            D           Dsus              E*
Between the whole damn rest of it, and my own little mind?
D                  Dsus      E*
Or am I down in a garden bed waiting for the sun?
            D         Dsus4        E*
Have I been arms-out, eyes-closed, waiting for the one?
            D             Dsus       E*
Have I been holding on to holograms, fistfuls of golden sand
D        Dsus           E*            Em
Chasing floaters on the surface of my eyes?

Fm    G                 Fm
I emptied out your house

Like a slowly exploding star
Em-F G           Fm          Em        Fm         G
I scattered you around, and now you’re all spread out

You’re all spread out
D Dsus E*
Oh

             D                          E*
Should I bе looking for your message in cloud-shapes, snowflakеs?
D                        E*           D                   Dsus
Eyes to the sky for some omen, golden light to warm your empty chair?

A song for the heavy air?
D            Dsus            E*                           D
Coincidence, significance, to believe you’re there? Is it you?
      Dsus E*
Is it me - injecting it with meaning?
        D               Dsus              E*
Does it matter when the matter that we’re made of is the same?
          D              Dsus         E*                      D          Dsus   E*
I’ll just wait, I’m just space with a few sad cells that take shape of a person, without their person
       D Dsus E* D Dsus E* Em
In this unfathomable place

Fm    G                 Fm

Like a slowly exploding star

I scattered you around, and now you’re all spread out

Oh

Verse 3:
        D                            E*
Can you see me from there with this roof over my head?
          D                           E*
Would you have a better view if I was out there instead?
         D           Dsus              E*
Should I move to the desert, find your love among the stars?

Or are you also in the constellations made from little particles of dust that burst
    E*                        D
And spin in golden air when I take out
Dsus        E*
Shake out - your sweater to wear?
           D Dsus    E*
I’m inside arms that held me when I cried
        D  Dsus      E*
Are you woven in the fabric of my life?
        D  Dsus      E*                      D Dsus
Are you woven in the fabric of my everyday living?

My everyday, everyday
