What [Bm] can we scrape [A] together from [G] our love-worn [F#] emotions?
[Bm] Handfuls of [A] hate and a [G] bittersweet [F#] devotion
[A#m] I [Bm] am pushing [A]
cobwebs and I'm [G] floating in [F#]
myself
[A#m] [Bm] Who will find me [G#]
under [E] this [A] mean tree?
[D] How could the [Em]
clouds chase us into [G] thinking it might [F#]
rain?
[C#] How could [Em] the need to save us into [G] thinking things might [A#m]
change?
[C#] I had a moonbeam [Em]
slip over [G] you
[F#]
[C#] [D] And a [Em] bird's coming back to [G] life
[F#]
[A#m] You've [Bm] been a thousand [A]
days and [G] I won't need [F#] no other [F#] light
You could [Bm] die a thousand [A] ways and [G] I'd still love you [F#] back [A#m] alive
[Bm] Without a lover to [A] wake me and my [G] loneliness like [F#]
quitsane
[Bm] Who will find [E] me under this mean [A] tree?
[D] How could the [Em]
clouds chase us into [G] thinking it might [F#]
rain?

[Em] [Bm]
[G] [Bm]
[C#] [F#]
I [Bm] am lost to the [A] longing
I [G] am molded by [F#] the [A#] memory
Had [Bm] to shut down half my [A] mind
Just [G] to feel the space you [F#] left behind
[Bm]
I am moving [A] cobwebs
And [G] I'm floating into [A#] myself
