[C]
[G] [Am] Yeah!
[C] [G]
There [C] [Am]
[G] [C]
is a voice that pulls [G] me stumbling through a [Am] symphony, [C] and the less of it I need the [G] more I'm
up by the shape of all the [Am] sentry that [C] can echo in the [G] chambers of [C] my chest.
I think she fears [G] I'll be a servant to [Am] my history, [C] or worse, [Am] a slave [Cm] to someone else's [G] misplaced doubts.

[G] _ [Am] Yeah!
Woo! _ _ _
_ [C] _ _ _ _ [G] _ _ _
There _ [C] _ _ _ _ [Am] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[G] _ _ _ [C] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
is a voice that pulls [G] me stumbling through a [Am] symphony, [C] _ _ and the less of it I need the [G] more I'm_
_ _ [C] I'm swept up by the shape of all the [Am] sentry _ that [C] can echo in the [G] chambers of [C] my chest.
_ I think she fears [G] I'll be a servant to [Am] my history, [C] _ or worse, [Am] a slave [Cm] to someone else's _ [G] misplaced doubts. _
So [C] I try too hard to kill what's out to kill me, _ [F] till I'm blind and [G] high in the [C] lion's mouth.
_ _ The [Fm] words she aches [G] to hear [C] pour through my canon, _ _ _ [F] singing in the caverns of [G] my heart.
_ _ [C] I know I do my best to try to [Am] understand, _ _ _ they [F] only follow me [G] like vultures in [C] the end. _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[G] _ _ _ [Am] _ _ _ _ _
[F] _ _ [C] _ _ _ _ [G] _ _
_ _ _ [C] _ _ _ _ _
[Am] _ _ _ _ _ _ [F] _ _
[G] _ _ _ [C] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ I once read that [Em] I should write something [D] worth [Am] reading, _ _ [C] or I should do something worth writing [G] about. _
_ But [C] as my years, they bust like bees upon [Am] the ceiling, I [F] start to pour a [D] little more
than I'm [C] allowed. _ _
So I said our hearts know [G] deeper seasons than [D] our [Am] memories.
She said this [F] harvest might sustain us [G] for a year, _ _ _ [C] and of all the thousand ways the [Am] world
could tempt me, _ _ [F] I never met a better [Gm] fighter.
[G] _ [C] _ _ _
_ As I [F] try to breathe [G] the air that [C] she is breathing, _ _ only [Fm] dance, a lightness dance upon [G] my floor.
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [Em] _
_ I [C] am burning to [Dm] tell her she's all [Am] I'm needing, _ _ [F] and I'm drowned out by all [G] the noise outside the [C] door. _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ Carried [F] by the [G] current of [A] the morning, [C] _ _ _ _ _
miles below the surface of the dawn, [G] _
_ _ _ [Cm] she sits there
and says, this is not the place that I was [Am] born in.
That doesn't [Cm] mean it's not [G] the place where I [C] belong. _
_ _ [F] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [C] _ _ _ _ _ _ [N] _
