[C] [Fmaj7] [C] [G] [C]

Verse:

[C]My barricades feel open now

So I le[Fmaj7]ave behind the [C]bridge

With a flag with a western wave and a [Fmaj7]simple stitch t[C]o fix

I'll hold myself together now as you ta[Fmaj7]ke me through the [C]ditch

[C]Where the sky crumbled on the floors

[C]You'll sweep me off of my back

You'll sav[Fmaj7]e me from the rum[C]ble you spoke o[Fmaj7]f before

And the on[C]e who saved yo[Fmaj7]u

Ain't the[C] one who you were [Fmaj7]banking on

When your hi[C]ghs were cutti[G]ng through my [C]lows


Bridge: C Fmaj7 C Fmaj7


Verse:

[C]Enter through the side door please

I know [Fmaj7]you wish to speak wi[C]th me

Of old neglected promises

Of s[Fmaj7]tolen souven[C]irs

How you could hear the ocean

But you cou[Fmaj7]ld not see the b[C]reeze

When the sky was setting on a Buenos Aires beach

And the sun was shin[Fmaj7]ing on the o[C]ne I wi[Fmaj7]sh to see

And the f[C]ates are [Fmaj7]shifting unde[C]r land

You're beatin[Fmaj7]g on the floors[C]

You're sle[Fmaj7]eping on the same [C]ones you've been[Fmaj7] sweeping on

You're the [C]one that saved [Fmaj7]me

And the on[C]e that I was ban[Fmaj7]king on

When your highs[C] were cutting [G]through my low[C]s


Chorus:

So hold m[Fmaj7]e up against the tree

Y[G]ou used to measure me in feet

And se[C]t your[Fmaj7] sights to gre[C]en

And [Fmaj7]all the cross-town boys and on

[G]They show up with the sea shells in their eye[C]s

Bu[Fmaj7]t you know what the[C]y want

[Fmaj7]By the glow of your skin

And you can overdress for him

But it will soon grow old[C][Fmaj7]


Bridge: C Fmaj7 (x3)


Verse:

[C]And this winter it came to[Fmaj7] pass

[C]So much slower than the la[Fmaj7]st

[C]And now there's nothing [Fmaj7]left to grasp

[G]In our hands and nothing left to catch

So they'll [C]speak of the p[Fmaj7]ast

In the futu[C]re perfect ten[Fmaj7]se

Of places we will go

Before we grow old[C][Fmaj7]


Outro: C Fmaj7 (repeat as many as needed)
