Chords with lyrics

G+G              C majorC            G+G             D MajorD    D7D7
I skimmed across black water without once submerging, onto the banks of an urban morning.
   G+G            C majorC             G+G       D MajorD
That hungers the first light, much much more than, the mountains ever do.
  G+G             C majorC
And she like a ghost beside me goes down with the ease of a dolphin,
G+G       D MajorD           D7D7
And emerges unlearned, unshamed, unharmed.
  G+G            C majorC
For she is perfect creature, natural in every feature
  G+G    E minorEm       D MajorD      G+G
And I am the geek with the alchemists' stone.


Chorus
C majorC      D MajorD        G+G E minorEm     C majorC           D MajorD
For all of you who must disc-o-ver,??. for all who seek to understand,
C majorC     D MajorD        G+G E minorEm   FF        C majorC       D MajorD   D7D7
For having left the path of o-o-thers,?. you'll find a very special hand.


  G+G            C majorC             G+G          D MajorD
And it is a holy thing, and it is a precious time, and it is the o-o-only way.
  G+G                C majorC                G+G     E minorEm       D MajorD     G+G
Forget-me-nots among the snow, it's always been and so it goes, to ponder his death, and his life eternally.
