Chords with lyrics

D MajorD      G+G
I'll bury my downcast hours in transparent ink,
D MajorD         G+G
tie myself to the mast and wait here for the ship to sink
E minorEm           G+G     A augmentedA    G+G
though I know I've set sail on a wishing well

D MajorD      G+G
the daylight is dimming out slowly with every breath I take
gasps of air become roaring rivers keeping me awake
E minorEm       B minorBm   A augmentedA      G+G
it gives me no time to think things through
E minorEm       B minorBm   A augmentedA      G+G
I know words always come before you do

Chorus (essentially same as intro)
   A augmentedA          B minorBm      (5-3-2-0-2-3..)
but I can't find no poetry left in these lines
     A augmentedA          B minorBm      (5-3-2-0-2-3..)
I've been trying too hard, too long, too many times

Bridge:
D MajorD A augmentedA G+G
D MajorD A augmentedA G+G

is this what a biochemist would call happiness?
is it part of some unmade promise I thought I could forget?
E minorEm        B minorBm    A augmentedA    E minorEm
is it time that I let some air come through?
E minorEm        B minorBm    A augmentedA     E minorEm
for now strangeling love is all I can do


Chorus:

yeah, I know you have mountains of poems in mind
all explaining how all wounds will heal given time

B minorBm                   E MajorE
but these days are no longer my time to spill
   G+G      A augmentedA               E MajorE
and I know that by waiting, I'll make them stand still

Bridge: (listen to song)
A augmentedA FF
A augmentedA FF C majorC
A augmentedA FF BbmBbm FF C majorC A...


I kept it as close as I could through those winter nights
but the ropes only tighten round me as I try to fight
E minorEm            B minorBm     A augmentedA    E minorEm
there's no worth throwing stone in a wishing well
now I'm out of black ink and true tales to tell

Chorus:
and I know it's all poetry, know they're just lies
but I'll still scavenge on what I find inbetween those lines
B minorBm                   E MajorE
I'll pretend there was happiness, fake to have felt pain
   G+G      A augmentedA              E MajorE
