I put brackets around chords where the song stays on
the same chord through two measures, but doesn’t emphasize it the
second time. Thanks for the lyric emails, I updated them,
but the end still seems a little off.
F C C F F C C
[C] F C
Balancing on one wounded wing
Circling the Cedge of the never enFding
F C C [C]
The best of the vanished marvels have gathered inside your door
More than Fbegin, but less than forCget
But spirit Cborn from the not happened Fyet
F C C [C]
Gathering there to pay off a debt brought back from the wars
We thought we loFst you C We thought we loCst you F
F C C [C]
We thought we lost you Welcome back
F C C [C]
Sleeping for Fyears pick through what is Cleft
Through the pieces that Cfell and rose from the deFpth
F C C [C]
From the rain water well deep as a secret nobody knows
Less than forFget but more than beCgun
These adventures in sColitude never Fdone
F C C [C]
To the names of our wounds we send the same blood back from the wars
We thought we loFst you C We thought we loCst you F
F C C [C]
We thought we lost you It will all come back
F C C F F C C [C]
I know you Amwant to run far Amaway from Cone more,
F and that it’s coming at Ca bad time
some cold Amplace, some countless Amways C F
F For all we know C
I know you Amneed to breathe through Amcome back, Ccome to
F but it’s coming at Ca bad time
Some Amhow a watch from the tangAmle of Cdays
F For all we know C
F C C F F C C [C]
I know you Amwant to run far Amaway from Cone more,
F and that it’s coming at Ca bad time
some cold Amrace, some countless Amways C F
F For all we know C
I know you Amwant to breathe through Amcome back, Ccome to
F but it’s coming at Ca bad time
old scAmarred face from surviAmvor's Cguilt
F For all we know C
Extra notes:
If you play the piano, I think the verses use C 2nd inversion,
D 2nd inversion, and G 1st inversion. Start with middle C in the
middle and it should fall into place.
Someone’s quietly plucking a guitar in the intro and
first verse (that I can hear), and here’s what s/he’s playing.
