The Shondes - The clearing

^EWe were made of wanting We were a^G#mll bound up There was ^Anever enough Never a ^Bgood calm, a good long da^Ey We told each other of a ^G#mplace that opens up We didn’t have ^Awords for this stuff Didn’t kno^Bw if it was dangerous ^C#m To find out ^Ewhat it takes ^A To be as sma^Bll as the beginning of day^C#ms This is what you ^Epromised me ^AThis is the feeling, come ^Binto the clearing

^EThis is the green of the ^Asun through the trees With their^C#m soundproof leaves They^F#m stand our guardian^Es Underneath this ^Acanopy, ^F#mfall to your knees You don’t ^Bwant for anything^E

^ENow I’ll cover you, will ^C#myou cover me? We can just ^Atalk plainly Call it a val^Bley, a meadow, a lea^C#m When you get so ^Eweary ^A Come and se^Be the periphery ^C#m Maybe it’s been here ^Eall along ^AMaybe it’s just that the ^Btime has come

^EThis is the green of the ^Asun through the trees With their^C#m soundproof leaves They^F#m stand our guardian^Es Underneath this ^Acanopy, ^F#mfall to your knees You don’t ^Bwant for anythi^F#mng

I swear to you ^Eno more scarcity^{B F#m} I swear we a^All deserve these^B things

You don’t ^Bwant for anythi^Eng [Chorus] This is the green of the ^Asun through the trees With their^C#m soundproof leaves They^F#m stand our guardian^Es Underneath this ^Acanopy, ^F#mfall to your knees You don’t ^Bwant for any^Ething ^{A C#m F#m} For any^Ething
