D A G G | D A G G
[Verse 1: Robin Pecknold]
D A G
Out in the loading bay light
D
Watching the fog recede
A G
Divided the flame you slowly gave to me
Bm G D
Sign of relief in my mind
A G
But I only caught you the one time
Bm D A
Later I'd watch you and wonder what it was like
[Pre-Chorus: Robin Pecknold]
D A G
How do you bear the full weight?
D
How does the long way feel?
A G
Kneading your hand too tight against the wheel?
Bm G D
How do you stay in that tower?
A G
How do you reckon your own power?
Bm D A
How does the wheel not turn hour on hour on hour?
[Chorus: Justin Vernon & Anaïs Mitchell]
D G
I was trying to find my way
D A
I was thinking my mind was made
D G
But you were making my heart change shape
A
It's all that I could take
D G
I was trying to find my way
D A
I was thinking my mind was made
D G
But you were making my heart change shape
A
It's all that I could take

It's all that I could take

I was trying to find my way

I was thinking my mind was made
D G
But you were making my heart change shape
A
It's all that I could take, now
D G
I was trying to find my way

I was thinking my mind was made

But you were making my heart change shape

It's all that I could take, now
