[Verse]
DA soft breeze
With the slippery concrete D/C#black and full of muddy slush
BmContrasting with the hoarfrost, clean anGd hung
On a Dtunnel of silent shivering trees
The D/C#ones you said you'd like to be
And the Bmbirds that screamed at the Gsun
Now Dburied deep below the ground
D/C#Beneath the snow, I press my Bmshoulder to this wall between Gus
I Dknow you are behind me and I D/C#press my shoulder to this wall
DeBmtermined not to turn Garound
I Ddidn't see you standing
Still that D/C#statue that I molded in my mind to kissBm
So beautiful you'll nGever move again
[Interlude]
D D/C# Bm G
[Verse]
SomeDplace far away
At some D/C#sad table littered with chipped plates
With Bmbad light in 48 frames from a Gmovie on the cutting room floor
You said, D"True meaning would be dyD/C#ing with you"
And though I Bmwanted to, I Gdid not smile
But Dnow I will give up on this D/C#wall that I have fought with
Never Bmuncover meaning Gbehind our rich words
If I Dcould I would make you a D/C#raging river
With Bmangry rapids, Gplied with rain
So you could Dalways meander
And D/C#forever be able to run awaBmy G
Without Dcontending D/C#
With myths wrongly inteBmrpreted G
With Dpain D/C# Bm G
A harsh Dwind D/C# Bm G
D D/C# Bm G
A harsh wind D D/C# Bm G
