The Dirt

Bb Eb Gm Cm


[Verse 1]
Bb              Eb               
The clouds came 'cause you were 
   Gm Cm
cold
Bb                 Eb            
And leaned into the wind to let 
         Gm     Cm
it sway your bones
             Bb              Eb   
And how your ribcage took the 
              Gm
weight of all that ache
         Cm                  Eb    
And your heart got so damn heavy
Bb

            Gm
So dull and heavy

Eb Bb Eb Gm Cm


[Verse 2]
Bb                  Eb           
You could close the 
       Gm    Cm
windows 'cause that looks strong
Bb               Eb               
Or lean into the panes and let the
 Gm            Cm
 rains fall on you
        Bb       Eb
And you chose so fast
     Gm             Cm        
How did you move so fast with a 
           Eb
heart so heavy?
Bb          Gm        Cm
So dull and heavy

[Chorus]
     Eb                            
Well remember how you told her you 
     Gm
were sleeping below the dirt
Eb                                
'Cause somebody told you just how 
Gm
bad they'd make you hurt?
           Eb                Cm   
They never said that but you felt 
      Bb                 Gm
it, so that was what you heard
Eb
Kendra, can we come home now?
       Bb                Eb   Gm Cm
How we live with what we learn

[Verse 3]
Bb             Eb              
The coast that caught you kept 
Gm          Cm
you moving along
Bb           Eb                   
And you grew calm and you let your
 Gm            Cm
 hair grow long
                     Eb      Bb
And then you took up swimming
                      Gm      Eb
So now you're fuckin' swimming
                   Bb        Gm 
Yeah baby, keep on swimming, oh whoa
Cm
 oh


[Bridge]
Eb   Gm  Bb
Forever now
Eb        Gm     Bb
Find your tether now
 Eb           Gm             Bb  
Then write it down, write it 
           Cm
down, write it down
Eb                           Gm
Put your feet back above the ground


[Chorus]
     Eb                            
Well remember how you told her you 
     Gm
were sleeping below the dirt
Eb                              
'Cause nobody told you just how 
Gm
badly this would hurt?
           Eb                 Cm  
Yeah they said that you could hear
          Bb             Gm
 it, for whatever that's worth
Eb
Kendra, can we come home now?
Cm
Can we hang up the phone now?
 Eb
Girl, are you coming home now?
        Bb               Eb
How we live with what we learn
