         C            Am7 
We're melting ruby hearts  
      F        C (2) 
A confusing trade 
              Am7 
To burn the ore 
      F       G 
To shape a blade 
           C       Am7 
Then to swing it low 
     F      C (2) 
Beginners fate 
               Am7 
To lose a skin 
           F   G 
To just grow away 

        F               C       
Like a rain, to help a river 
       G           F       G   
But a river's so hard to please 
          Em                F 
But I've grown to see the diamonds 
         G 
You've thrown in just for me 


C - Am7 - F - C - Am7 - F - G  

      C            Am7 
We spent so many nights 
      F        C (2) 
Just gathering stones 
              Am7 
The silver tears 
      F       G 
Old sapphire bones 
           C       Am7 
And all the copper leaves 
       F      C (2) 
Then dreamt, now true 
                       Am7 
Look how they find their path 
      F       G 
To cut right through 

        F               C     
Like a rain, to help a river 
       G           F       G   
But a river so hard to please 
          Em                F 
But I've grown to see the diamonds 
         G 
You've thrown in just for me 

                 Am7                 C 
Look when your hopeless child will figure 
              Am7              C 
There are moments when hope's not 
      F           C                 G 
Only real when flagging far down a road 
          Am7           C 
With an armful broken arrows 
           Am7            C 
And no hand free for the bow 
       F                C 
Your kid will lose a battle 
  G 
But your ways 
              F            Am7  C  G 
Will let him go 

          C       Am7 
I lose my wish to drown 
      F      C (2) 
And aimless flee 
                       Am7 
What you've thrown to lose 
      F       G          C 
Is still right here with me
