Tuning: Standard (E A D G B E)

🎸 Intro:
Am7 Fmaj7 G Cmaj7


🎸 Verse 1:
Am7                            Fmaj7
   It's getting much colder beyond
                               G         Cmaj7
The sky's bright light I see white smoke fading
Am7
   Upon last summer’s sun
   Fmaj7                     G                     Cmaj7  C7
Dissolving into honey I let my lonely bones speak louder

🎸 Chorus:
    F
And I can't tell the colour
        C                    E7                       Dm7  D7sus
Of your eyes, but I feel them  burn a fire through my skin
        Fmaj7                    C
And the rain runs up and down my gutters
         E7                     Dm7     D7sus Dm7
You hang inside me, build my sweet ruin

🎸 Verse 2:
Am7                          Fmaj7
Dust rests on my floor and I dance on its dirt
     G                    Cmaj7
This home wasn't made for one
Am7                      Fmaj7
Winter falls upon me, so blue and icy chic
   G                 Cmaj7    C7
It crawls into my steel heart

🎸 Chorus:
        F                        C
And the rain runs up and down my curtains
          E7                  Dm7  D7sus
With tiny feet that I long to find
      Fmaj7                       C
And I wish I knew you like I knew them
            E7                 Dm7 D7sus Dm7
You are more  beautiful in the rainfall

Post-🎸 Chorus:
C                          Fm
  There is solitude on the river
                C/E               D
She mirrors the dark folk and the haze
C                          Fm
  You run through me and I shiver
           C/E     D
Like black ice on my grave
Dsus2      G     G7 G/G#
      Ooh, ooh...

🎸 Verse 3:
Am7
   It's heavy in my blood
Fmaj7               G                     Cmaj7
     I am no longer light I feel lead in my chest
Am7
   Running by the freight trains
   Fmaj7                             G             Cmaj7 C7
I'm     hiding with the homely in their cardboard beds

🎸 Chorus:
      F                            C
And I wish I had the touch of your hands
               E7                Dm7 D7sus
But I feel them  running a symphony
      F                                 C
And I wish I knew you like I knew your songs
               E7                    Dm7     D7sus Dm7
But I'm just a wretch resting on your chords

Post-🎸 Chorus:
C                          Fm
  There is solitude on the river
                C                 D
She mirrors the dark folk and the haze
C                          Fm
  You run through me and I shiver
           C/E     D
Like black ice on my grave
C                          Fm
  There is solitude on the river
                C                 D
She mirrors the dark folk and the haze
C                          Fm
  You run through me and I shiver
           C/E     D
Like black ice on my grave
Dsus2      Fmaj7
      Ooh, ooh...

🎸 Outro:
Am7                            Fmaj7
   You are my saving grace the songbird
                 G                 Cmaj7
That lands on my hand, to bring me life
Am7                          Fmaj7
   I want to cherish you for longer
          G                  Cmaj7
Than your wings will let you fly
