[Verse 1]

         G
With the weight of the skies
       Bm
Like a word to the wise
        D
And the thought that preyed
         G
With the road rising up
        Bm
And the fog in my cup
      D
As we cut to fade
        G
Go from ten down to nought
        Em
All the things that we bought
        Bm
And the plans we made

[Chorus]
D                D
Oh, man, will you stop
         G          Bm   A
Talking, offering it up
   G
So sweetly?
   D                Em
It just ain't yours to give
          Bm        G
'Less you own it completely

D D

[Verse 2]
        G
Feel it sharp in my breast
       Bm
Coming over the crest
         D
Like the joys of spring
          G
Sense the one with no name
       Bm
Moving just out of frame
     D
On a gauzy wing
       G
Like a smile as it cracked
     Em
Or a face in the act
     Bm
Of remembering

[Chorus]
D                D
Oh, man, will you stop
         G          Bm   A
Talking, offering it up
   G
So sweetly?
   D                Em
It just ain't yours to give
          Bm        G
'Less you own it completely

D D

[Post-Chorus]
    C          G
But I wouldn't know
Em          D
I wouldn't

[Verse 3]
         G
Hold the truth like a stone
       Bm
Of the tree that was grown
       D
From a tiny stem
       G
As the note finds its mark
          Bm
Swallowed up by the arc
     D
Of a darkened limb
         G
It ain't nobody's fault
          Em
That it's here and it's salt
 Bm
Deep water swim

[Chorus]
D                D
Oh, man, will you stop
         G          Bm   A
Talking, offering it up
   G
So sweetly?
   D                Em
It just ain't yours to give
          Bm        G
'Less you own it completely

D D

[Post-Chorus]
    C          G
But I wouldn't know
Em          D
I wouldn't
C          G
I wouldn't know
Em          D
I wouldn't
