Impossible Soul Part 1 chords by Sufjan Stevens

Tuning: Standard (E A D G B E)

Verse 1:

D                  Bm
Oh, woman, tell me what you want
    A          G
And I'll calm down without bleeding out
       D                        A
With a broken heart that you stabbed for an hour

Verse 2:

 D                    Bm              A           G
Woman, I was freaking out because I want you to know
                          D             A
My beloved, you are the lover of my impossible soul

Verse 3:

 D                             Bm              A         G
Woman, too, promise me you'll stay and put off all your woes
                              D
I was wigging out, too much worry
            A
I could not get you at all

Verse 4:

    D                                          Bm
And you said what you want, you would laugh it off
            A        G
But I know you won't go, not for it at last
          D                       A
Must you write it off for the impossible soul?

Verse 5:

    D                             Bm                    A       G
And I was in a dream, I was gone away without you, but not too slow
                         D                       A
Lest I put it off, for I put it right for the impossible soul

Chorus:

    Em             D                    Bm      C
And all I couldn't sing, I would say it all, my life, to you
G          A
If I could get you at all
  G                               Bm               A
(Don't be a wreck), trying to be something that I wasn't at all

Verse 6:

D                                   Bm               A       G
Seems I got it wrong, I was chasing after something that was gone
                              D                     A
To the black of night, now I know it's not what I wanted at all

Verse 7:

    D                                         Bm                 A
And you said something like, "All you want is all the world for yourself"-
           G
But all I want is the perfect love
          D                       A
Though I know it's small, I want love for us all

Chorus:

    Em             D                    Bm      C
And all I couldn't sing, I would say it all, my life, to you
G          A               G
If I could get you at all
             Bm               A
Trying to be something that I wasn't at all
