Intro:

Em   |C    |D    |Am   :
Em   |C    |D    |D    :


Verse 1:
  Em                 C
A hush in the air, a chill on the beach
   D                       Am
My head in the clouds, got nowhere to be
    Em                  G                   D    D
And my story is over, scattered across the sky

      Em              C
Don’t ask who I am or where I’m from
     D                    Am
I’ve painted my face with colors that run
Em                       G                  D    D
Nothing is left but the shadows beneath my eyes

Chorus:
       Em         G
Are we able to be broken,
      D                       Am
To be lost in the dark of the night
      Em              G                D    D
To be nameless, to be no one, to be alive


Verse 2:
    Em                     C
The books on the table are covered in dust
     D                       Am
Like strangers out there who taught me to love
      Em                        G                       D    D
And I flip through the pages to carry me through the night

        Em                    C
But the morning will come and wash me clean
    D                  Am
No stories to tell, no memories to keep
Em                 G                   D    D
No one to love and no one to rule my mind


Chorus:
       Em         G
Are we able to be broken,
      D                       Am
To be lost in the dark of the night
      Em              G                D    D
To be nameless, to be no one, to be alive

       Em          G
Are we able to be lonesome,
       D                       Am
To be lost in the light of the fire
      Em                G               D    D
To be weightless, to be open, to be alive

Verse 3:
    Em                        C
The mountain is steep and the engines grown
   D                    Am
A mountain of fears, a mountain of bones
      Em                    G                  D    D
And I stand at the top with nowhere left to climb

        Em                C
So I’ll open my mouth and blow my song
D                    Am
Sing like a bird and howl like a dog
        Em             G                   D    D
I’ll be over the edge, carried across the sky


Chorus:
       Em         G
Are we able to be broken,
      D                       Am
To be lost in the dark of the night
      Em              G                D    D
To be nameless, to be no one, to be alive

       Em          G
Are we able to be lonesome,
       D                       Am
To be lost in the light of the fire
      Em                G               D
To be weightless, to be open, to be alive
