🎸 Verse 1:
Am7Am7              Fmaj7Fmaj7
  It's getting much colder beyond
                G+G     Cmaj7Cmaj7
The sky's bright light I see white smoke fading
Am7Am7
  Upon last summer’s sun
  Fmaj7Fmaj7           G+G           Cmaj7Cmaj7 C7C7
Dissolving into honey I let my lonely bones speak louder

🎸 Chorus:
  FF
And I can't tell the colour
    C majorC          E7E7            Dm7Dm7 D7susD7sus
Of your eyes, but I feel them burn a fire through my skin
    Fmaj7Fmaj7          C majorC
And the rain runs up and down my gutters
     E7E7           Dm7Dm7   D7susD7sus Dm7Dm7
You hang inside me, build my sweet ruin

🎸 Verse 2:
Am7Am7             Fmaj7Fmaj7
Dust rests on my floor and I dance on its dirt
   G+G          Cmaj7Cmaj7
This home wasn't made for one
Am7Am7           Fmaj7Fmaj7
Winter falls upon me, so blue and icy chic
  G+G         Cmaj7Cmaj7  C7C7
It crawls into my steel heart

🎸 Chorus:
    FF            C majorC
And the rain runs up and down my curtains
     E7E7         Dm7Dm7 D7susD7sus
With tiny feet that I long to find
   Fmaj7Fmaj7            C majorC
And I wish I knew you like I knew them
      E7E7         Dm7Dm7 D7susD7sus Dm7Dm7
You are more beautiful in the rainfall

Post-🎸 Chorus:
C majorC             F minorFm
 There is solitude on the river
        C/EC/E        D MajorD
She mirrors the dark folk and the haze
C majorC             F minorFm
 You run through me and I shiver
      C/EC/E   D MajorD
Like black ice on my grave
Dsus2Dsus2   G+G   G7G7 G/G#
   Ooh, ooh...

🎸 Verse 3:
Am7Am7
  It's heavy in my blood
Fmaj7Fmaj7        G+G           Cmaj7Cmaj7
   I am no longer light I feel lead in my chest
Am7Am7
  Running by the freight trains
  Fmaj7Fmaj7               G+G       Cmaj7Cmaj7 C7C7
I'm   hiding with the homely in their cardboard beds

🎸 Chorus:
   FF              C majorC
And I wish I had the touch of your hands
        E7E7        Dm7Dm7 D7susD7sus
But I feel them running a symphony
   FF                 C majorC
And I wish I knew you like I knew your songs
        E7E7          Dm7Dm7   D7susD7sus Dm7Dm7
But I'm just a wretch resting on your chords

Post-🎸 Chorus:
C majorC             F minorFm
 There is solitude on the river
        C majorC         D MajorD
She mirrors the dark folk and the haze
C majorC             F minorFm
 You run through me and I shiver
      C/EC/E   D MajorD
Like black ice on my grave
C majorC             F minorFm
 There is solitude on the river
        C majorC         D MajorD
She mirrors the dark folk and the haze
C majorC             F minorFm
 You run through me and I shiver
      C/EC/E   D MajorD
Like black ice on my grave
Dsus2Dsus2   Fmaj7Fmaj7
   Ooh, ooh...

Am7Am7              Fmaj7Fmaj7
  You are my saving grace the songbird
         G+G         Cmaj7Cmaj7
That lands on my hand, to bring me life
Am7Am7             Fmaj7Fmaj7
  I want to cherish you for longer
     G+G         Cmaj7Cmaj7
Than your wings will let you fly
