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
