• Difficulty: Intermediate 💪

Key: E

Intro:

E     A


Verse 1:
                 D  A
Captured a belief
               D
Forgot what it was
     G               D
Upon waking let it go
                G                    D        E
Reached for the lamp, got up, turned on the radio

Verse 2:
  A              D
I walk along and hold
A         D
A wire or a string
          G           D
These are tenuous days
      G                           D          E
I run rampant with grumblings and I scrounge for praise


Bridge:
    G          D     A/C#
The body never pauses
Bm               A
And I forget I’m breathing
G             D   A/C#
Summer slopes down
    Bm                     A
And I’m peering toward the evening


Verse 3:
          D
Sea level rise
A           D
It’s an ordinary morning
G              D
Fires on the horizon
           G                          D         E
What’s the use in the news if it’s no longer surprising


Verse 4:
      A                 D
These days I’m a candle in the wind
A                          D
So could you be two hands around me
G                      D
Memories compound into heaps
       G                      D             E
And my dreams turn ugly while my conscience sleeps


Bridge:
G                    D    A/C#
Drudging through the quiet
         Bm            A
Throwing sound up the wall
G                  D
There’s no one here
  A/C#           Bm             A
Besides, I’ve no patience left at all


Guitar Solo:
A    D   A   D
G   D   G   D  E


Verse 5:
     A              D
True essence, distillation
A               D
Between the cavities and cobwebs
           G     D
Beside the river streams and thickets
          G              D             E
Under the roaring of the late summer's crickets


Verse 6:
        A              D
You got a funny way of staring
A                 D
Into the openness we see
             G               D
You look for concrete constellations
G             D          E
And you make astute observations


Outro:
          G           D
There’s a glow on the rise
               Bm               A
Yet I drift by feelings without thought
        G                D
As days come and days die
                Bm            A
I try not to forget what we have got
