D Cmaj7 D
So the priceless blue diamond is cursed,
C D
and we both got hurt.
D Cmaj7 D
Maybe I stand in a minefield of words,
Cadd9 D
but I asked you first.
[Chorus 1]
Em Bm G G
Those early encounters, with the hurtful lies of kids.
D D
I remember what you did
A7 Bm G G
Covered your arms in a curtain-shawl, bloodied your palms
Em Em
on the elementary wall.
D
If it seems too far, it is.
[Verse 2]
D Cmaj7 D
I was out there in the cradle of thorns
C D
when your fears took form.
D Cmaj7 D
And the truth is maybe your fear's a wall.
Cadd9 D
But it's not that tall.
[Chorus 2]
Em Bm G G
If you want me you show me in a most unusual way,
D
In a most unusual way.
A7 Bm G G
Under the eyes of a frozen lake I saw your fire,
Em Em
and it served me not to wait.
D
But it hurt me all the same.
[Ending]
A7 Bm G G
You had to chase an electric storm and you had to wait
Em Em
for the violent wind to calm,
D
and it carried you away.
