The Decemberists - Cocoon

^Gmaj7This cocoon caught in Vesuvius' s^Cmaj7hadow Only the ashes r^Gmaj7emain And ^Cmaj7I waited there for you Why couldn't ^Gmaj7you ^Cmaj7

^Gmaj7Here we lie waiting for something to^Cmaj7 startle To shake us from gravity's ^Gmaj7pull And ^Cmaj7so sleeping hours are through What can we ^Gmaj7do ^Cmaj7

The s^Emorry conclusion the lo^Cmaj7w dirty war it h^Am7appened before you came to But t^Emhis is solution and th^Cmaj7is is amends The j^Am7oke always tends to come true But t^Fhere on your windowsill o^Dmver the unmoving pl^Aatoon W^Fritten in paperback vie^Dmw to the quarterback's r^Aoom Unde^Cr waning moon

This q^G/Buiet serves^Gm/A# only to h^Amide you Pr^Em/Bovide ^Amyou What I ^Cknew what I^Cm knew it'd come back to y^Gmaj7ou ^Cmaj7

^Gmaj7Take this palm follow the lines here^Cmaj7 are written And script out the rest of your li^Gmaj7fe An^Cmaj7d feel your fingers falling slack And all folding^Gmaj7 back ^Cmaj7

The t^Emainted election the ho^Cmaj7le in the sky ^Am7Command what is tried what is true But w^Emithout solution with f^Cmaj7eet on the ground ^Am7It won't make a sound 'til you're through So lo^Fosen your shoulder blades^Dm This is your hour to make due ^A Becau^Fse there on the timberlin^Dme Deep cold November shines through ^A Soft and ab^Csolute

This q^G/Buiet serves^Gm/A# only to h^Amide you Pr^Em/Bovide ^Amyou What I ^Cknew what I^Cm knew it'd come back to y^Gmaj7ou ^Cmaj7
