    A
Mechanical boy why do you delight
                 G
In picking the skin off around your nails?
          F                     G
Lying in bed and holding your breath
                   A
And pretending to die?

      A
Well gather your things, your gears and your springs
                 G
We're taking a ship to the Whispering Isle
             F                Fm
It won't be long until this whole world's
      C
Set alight

Verse:

See the sky's
          E
Turning black from blizzard blue
           F
I've been talking in my sleep
            Fm
I've been dreaming about you
           C
You were bringing me a message
            E
Through a thousand miles of earth
      F
But when I woke
     C                G
The words were all a jumble in my mouth
    F                  C
I tried to write them down
             E
But nothing sensible came out
Other than

Chorus:
A
I'm not my body
I'm not my brain
G
I'm not my skin
I'm not my name
D
I'm not my thoughts
E
I'm not my tongue
        F
I'm whatever remains
            G
After those other things are gone

A
I'm not my gifts
Or the things I lack
G
I'm not my voice
Or the echoes back
D                       E
I'm not the worst thing I've ever done
      Fm
I'm whatever remains
After those other things are gone

A Dm
C E F - C G

Verse:
           F              Fm
There's a portrait of us hanging
        C                   E
In the library at the very bottom of this place
          F
You have been there
I have seen you
          Fm
Or I saw something with your face

           C                              E
You were bringing me a message through a maze of knotted thorns
      F
But when I woke
     C                G
The words were all a jumble in my mouth
    F                  C
I tried to write them down
             E
But nothing sensible came out

                   G
The waves have forgotten
                      F  G
They are part of the sea

         A
And the sandcastles
              G
They have forgotten
                      F   G
They are part of the beach

     A
Oh, Sasha
                   G
The waves have forgotten
                      F  G
They are part of the sea

Those other things are gone
