G                 Bm
    don't move an inch
Dm           C
listen for a singing
C               G                    D        D
hitting in your bones like they were forts
       G           Bm
if you hear what I hear
Dm             C
    don't just sit there
       C              G
we are only strumming water
        D             C        C*
on this most unlikely court

        G              Bm
you got blown shore to shore
Dm            C
    not quite sailing
C             G              D      D
riding on the trade-winds of age
G          Bm*
    things blow in
Em             C
    don't just cast them
G           D                G       G
say it now, what you want to stay

Interlude:
G   Bm  Em  Em  C   C*

      G           Bm
I was once on a long boat
Dm               C
star mapping the night roots
C              G
lightening the load
        D       D
just in case
   G       Bm      Em     C
but things float in to be taken
   G                 D                 G    G
if you don't know by now what will stay

                 G*(strum once)
so don't move an inch
             Em(strum once)
don't move a single second
          C                 C*              D           D
until the shade behind your thoughts is not confused
                 G*(strum once)
cause I felt your itch
           Em(strum once)
I know the scent as well as any

              C
clotting your garden
             C*
of paints or pollen
              D
brick in your mortar
          D
petals to soak in
       C
on the cracks
           C*
thicker or finer
             D
milk in your water
              D
black in your primer
             C
wood in your brush
              C*
now I am your cloth
             D
whatever you want
             D
the best is upon us
C                  C*
    it's a finicky muse
            D          D
with only potential
