Intro:

D       A       Em7      G


Verse :
D                A
why do I sing my songs for you
Em7                               G
when I know if I don't I'll still leave with you
D                         A
Looking down at my drink, it's residue
Em7                G
Do stains tell the truth?

Verse :
D                       A
Where there are shadows there is light
Em7                            G
Well, the heaviness falls like the snow in night
D                          A
Waking up to the quiet and blinding white
Em7           G
Can't this be enough?




Verse :
D                     A
The way you play gets caught in my teeth
Em7                         G
As if the six brass strings were feeding me
D                          A
And the notes that I sing, fruit on a tree
Em7            G
Won't you just pick me



Verse :
D                        A
I get into my car to get out of the house
Em7                     G
And the radio's on as I ride it out
D                                  A
Well the dashboard's a gong as the wheels turn ground
Em7          G
Doesn't that count


Chorus:
D     Am       Em7    Em
I can be crazy too
D       Am          Em7      Em
Willing disaster to breakthrough
D         A     Em7    Em
Tornado's close in the rearview
D       Am7     Em7      G
Not all mirrors tell the truth
D       A7      Em7      Em
Not all mirrors tell the truth


Interlude:
D       A       Em7      G




Verse :
         D                     A
When the double helix gets too tight for you
Em7                             G
When you're lost in the syntax, no dawn, no dew
    D                       A
I'm the broken glass in the sole of your shoe,
Em7                      G
I'm walking me home with you



Verse :
    D                 A
The sweat drips down, there's salt in my mouth
Em7                             G
When I jump in the lake, I let it pull me down
     D                          A
Do I have what it takes to spit myself back out?
Em7              G
Please let me be enough



Chorus:
D        Am       Em7        Em
Why do I sing out loud?
         D        Am       Em7        Em
As if by reaching you, I could move the clouds
         D      A         Em7         Em
As if by moving clouds, I could reach myself
            D         Am7   Em7       G
I guess the truth has to be enough or else
            D         A7    Em7       Em
I guess the truth has to be enough or else
