Boreas Ukulele chords by The Oh Hellos

Tuning: G C E A (G C E A)



         A            G
With my back on the floor
        C                F
Cold linoleum icing my growing pains
             A                   G
Watch the ceiling fan turn its shape again
      C                 F
My threads are coming loose
           A         G
Yeah, I'm one spoon away
        C                    F
From setting the ends of my hair on fire
          A             G
If I'm kindling for a little while
     C               F
At least I'd feel of use
  A            G         C
Maybe then my breath could embody
     G      A
A wildfire starting
      G            C      F
I'd sweep up the forest floor
                G                C
And my body'd breathe life into the corners
             A
Be a darker soil
        A                G
Making lists, folding laundry
         C            F
Keeping tidy with my radio show
         A         G
I'd be lying if I told you
             C      F
I'm keeping tidy anymore
         A            G
Yeah, I swing from believing
       C                   F
That maybe my working will all pay off
       A                        G
To considering drinking with Molotov
      C              F
I'm halfway out the door
 A              G          C
Maybe then my breath could embody
      G      A
A wildfire starting
     G             C     F
I'd sweep up the forest floor
                G                     C
And my body'd breathe life into the corners
             A
Be a darker soil
  C
Promise me
             F            G
That you'll start where I end
         C         F
And I promise to give you
A      G     C
Everything I am
     G
(On and on and on)
         A            F
We'll go on and on and on
        G
In the end
       F
All I hope for
      C             F
Is to be a bit of warmth for you
             C              G
When there's not a lot of warmth left
     A
To go around
