[G]
[D] [E]
[Em]
[G] The gravity landing [D] over to my house,
[Ab] Charred me from [G] my heel.
I've caused this far [D] too much to bear,
[E] But you said you will, now [Em] you [Gm] look away.
[D] Look away, [E] look away, I need me [G] alone.
I call [D] the [G] flames in the open [D] sky,
I call the thunder [G] to the wind in the [D] open sky.
To hear my spell, [G]
to see [D] myself,
[G] I call [D] the thunder.
[G] The reason you swam against [D] your luck just,
[E] Muttered in my [G]
brain.
See that we were [D] alike,
[Bm]
But we were not the [Em] same,
Now you [G] look away, [D] look away, [Em] I need me all alone.
I [D] call the flames in the open sky,
I call the thunder to the wind in the open sky.
[Em] To see [D] myself, to hear myself,
[Em]
[D] I call the [G]
[D] [E]
[G] [D]
[E]
[G] [D] [E]
[A]
[Bm] flames in the open [D] sky,
[Bm] I call the thunder to the wind in the open [D] sky.
To see myself, to hear myself,
[Em] I call [D] the thunder.
[G]
I call the [D] thunder.
[G] Once it got [D] on the floor,
[E]
Wondering at it [G] all,
I promised [D] I would join him,
[Em] But the gesture was too slow,
Now [G] I look away, [D] look away,
[Em]
Look away back to myself.
I [D] call the [G] flames in the open [D] sky,
[G] I call the thunder to the wind in the open [D] sky.
To see myself, [G] to [D] hear myself,
I call the [G] thunder.
I call [D] the
[G] [D]
[Em]
thunder.
Come [G] down to [C] the little [E] garden we were leaving,
[G] Come call with me,
Come call and see,
[E] Though our alakazam's in my eyes turning grey,
[G] Are you still the same?
Are you still the same?
[Em]
Carry [D] on.
[Em] I have [D] returned,
Through [Em] [G] so [D] many highways,
[G] And so many [D] tears,
[G] Your letter never [C] survived the need of [E] my hand,
[D] My burning [G] hand,
My steady hand,
Your love never survived [C] the need of [E] my heart,
[G] My friar heart,
In the dark.
Carry [D] on.
[G] I have [D] returned,
[Em] Through so [D] many highways,
[Em] And so
[D] many tears,
[C] Carry [A] on to where I [Em] have come,
[G] Carry on to the [A] place that I have [C]
come,
Carry on to the [Am] dust and blasts behind [E] me,
[Em]
Carry on to the cracks [Am] that haze on the [Em] base of me,
Oh, but [D] I didn't change,
I truly [Em] said the word,
[D] Oh, but I didn't change,
I truly [G] said [E] the word,
And [D] now I own,
And [E] now I own,
Do you [D] still want me?
Now that [E] I own,
[Em]
[G] Come down to [C] the river [E] gone with me,
[G] Come go with me,
Come go and see,
I [E] know how to cross fields and lies turn gray,
[G] Are you still the same?
Are you still the same?
So [Em] carry [D] on.
[A] I [D] have returned,
Through [A] so [D] many highways,
[Em] And so [D] many tears,
[E] Yeah.
[Em]
Oh, [D] but I didn't change,
I truly said [Em] the word,
Oh, [D] but I didn't change,
I [G] truly said the [E] word,
And [D] now I own,
[E] Do you [D] still want me?
Now [E] that I own
