Intro: D Em G
D G
can't find the forest
D G
too stuck on the trees
D G
but now you're invested,
D
so i'm left pretending
G
it's all i can see
D G
i asked for a window
D G
to open my cell
D G
you came as kaleidoscopes
D
climbing, colliding
G
you came as yourself
Em Bm
whether i'm ready
A Em
is not up to me
Bm
we go where we're ordered
A
to bunker or beach
Em A
to the close of creation
D G
as shells and stories
D G
D G
a spiral staircase
D G
Astoria, Queens
D G
i claimed you while conscious
D
got sleepy, forgetful,
G
and left you in dreams
Em Bm
you folded your leg
A Em
right foot to left knee
Bm
you laughed at my back
A Em
said you couldn't believe
A
how violent I could be
just brushing my teeth
(this part is hard to figure out
give me feedback if you can)
G Em Bm
G Em Bm
G Em A
D G
drove from the service
D G
spent in my seat
D G
my woman beside me
D
a clutch of hydrangeas
G
a strange sort of peace
D G
in loss, i'm made certain
D G
unveiled clarity
D G
it's you i will marry
D
my lover, my family
G
you always will be
Em B
but every word
A Em
seemed too small to speak
Bm
so we watched the sky reach
A Em
ambivalent peaks
A
we made our projections
present and free
