G    C           Am
There's no talking to him

  C          Am             Em
His eyes are upon dust, steam, and tepid water

Dm              G
I am home just to sit with him

Dm          Fmaj7       C           G
Aging at the notion of a life time on earth -- whim

Cmaj7            Am
There's no working it out

C           Am              Em
My wanting is beyond all fears of formula

  Dm                  G
There's no boundary to devotion

   Dm          Fmaj7         Cmaj7          G      G
No territory to handle and cut neatly into -- three


F Em G F

I wish I knew x6

Verse 2:

G     C             Am
      No sign on the door

Cmaj7      Am        E
No title to the deeds I'm digging for

         Dm             G
A pun you wade into that ocean

Dm        Fmaj7
Blot out all uncertainty

Cm                G
And call it as I -- be

C                   Am
The air is all ribbons of ice

Cmaj7        Am           Em
Softening the corners of my eyes

     Dm             G
I was bold, I was the author

Dm             Fmaj7
Doubt crept in like sickly dogs

Cmaj7               G
And dragged me through the -- freeze

Chorus:

F Em G F

I wish I knew x6

F Em G F

I think I knew x6

Verse 3: 
G    C
    What did you want?
Am
(Everything)
 
C
How would you have him?

Am
(On my knees)

Em                   G
There is no one that can't be opened

Dm            Fmaj7
This one to cut the heart in two

Cmaj7          G      G
The other one to -- choose

Chorus:

F Em G F

I wish I knew x6
I think I knew x12
