Boreas chords by The Oh Hellos

Tuning: Standard (E A D G B E)

Intro:
D

Verse 1:

D
With my back on the floor
                       G
Cold linoleum icing my growing pains
          D
Watch the ceiling fan turn its shape again
   Bm
My threads are coming loose
          D          A
Yeah, I'm one spoon away
     D                      G
From setting the ends of my hair on fire
       D
If I'm kindling for a little while
                         G
At least I'd feel of use

Chorus:

G                             D
Maybe then my breath could embody
           Bm7
A wildfire starting
    A
I'd sweep up the forest floor
G                                   D
And my body'd breathe life into the corners
            Bm7
Be a darker soil

A G A G E A Bm Dm F#m G Em D G

Verse 2:

       D
Making lists, folding laundry
                     G
Keeping tidy with my radio show
       Bm         A
I'd be lying if I told you
             D      G
I'm keeping tidy anymore
        A
Yeah, I swing from believing
                           G
That maybe my working will all pay off
      D                      A
To considering drinking with Molotov
     D                    G
I'm halfway out the door

Chorus:

G                           D
Maybe then my breath could embody
           Bm7
A wildfire starting
     A                     G
I'd sweep up the forest floor
                                   D
And my body'd breathe life into the corners
             Bm
Be a darker soil

A G D A D E D A Bm7 D G A

Bridge:

D
Promise me
                                 Bm
That you'll start where I end
D
And I promise to give you
     A       G
Everything I am
               A
(On and on and on)
         D
We'll go on and on and on

Outro:

       A
In the end

All I hope for
      G
Is to be a bit of warmth for you
              D
When there's not a lot of warmth left
Em
To go around

A G D Bm G
