You As You Were chords by Shearwater

Chords with lyrics

Capo on 2nd fret


     E MajorE
When you fall at the rocks

At the bend at the river
     AbmAbm
With the blood from your nose

Running hard on your fingers
      BB         A augmentedA
And through the rest of your life


E MajorE AbmAbm BB A augmentedA

   E MajorE
The electric charge

Of a change in the weather
     AbmAbm
You were touching my arm

You were holding a feather
      BB        A augmentedA
And then I opened my eyes


    C# minorC#m
As the World goes racing, suddenly changed
                        BB
As the shock of the axe, it leaves you trembling
    C# minorC#m
Like a busting shell in the small of your back
                          BB
Or a job that's hard on the cast of your little lie

And an animal life was surging away


       E MajorE
And you were back on the road

Through the worst of the Winter
      AbmAbm
Through the Valley of Lies

Passing through like an arrow

       E MajorE
Oh , if your vision collapsed

And a storm from the river
    AbmAbm
Like a golden medalion

Clutching tight in your fingers
      BB
But on the slope of the edge
     A augmentedA
Will you recover your life


     E MajorE
You could stand on the back of a shuddering beam
                  AbmAbm
With a pistol firing shots into the air
     E MajorE
You could run in the blood of the Sun's hard rays
                      AbmAbm
You could drive the mountains down into the bay
                      BB
Or go back to the East where it's all so civilized
      A augmentedA
Where I was born to the life


     E MajorE
But I am leaving the life

I am leaving the life

I am leaving the life

I am leaving the life
   AbmAbm
I am leaving the life

I am leaving the life

I am leaving the life

I am leaving the life
   BB     A augmentedA   E MajorE
