Poetry chords by Moddi
Guitar chords with lyrics
D G I'll bury my downcast hours in transparent ink, D G tie myself to the mast and wait here for the ship to sink Em G A G though I know I've set sail on a wishing well D G the daylight is dimming out slowly with every breath I take gasps of air become roaring rivers keeping me awake Em Bm A G it gives me no time to think things through Em Bm A G I know words always come before you do
Chorus (essentially same as intro)
A Bm (5-3-2-0-2-3..)
but I can't find no poetry left in these lines
A Bm (5-3-2-0-2-3..)
I've been trying too hard, too long, too many times
Bridge:
D A G
D A G
is this what a biochemist would call happiness?
is it part of some unmade promise I thought I could forget?
Em Bm A Em
is it time that I let some air come through?
Em Bm A Em
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
Bm E
but these days are no longer my time to spill
G A E
and I know that by waiting, I'll make them stand still
Bridge: (listen to song)
A F
A F C
A F Bbm F C 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
Em Bm A Em
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
Bm E
I'll pretend there was happiness, fake to have felt pain
G A E Please rate for accuracy!
