definitely my favorite song off the 
2017 album.
these chords work for me, i don't 
think they're correct though ... 
(better ideas?)

i strum it pretty quickly kinda like
 DD-UDU DD-UDU (and so on)

here's a cover i made while i was 
sick, maybe it helps with the 
strumming (might do a better one 
some day):


[Intro]
(B E F# B)

[Verse 1]
(B E F# B):

      B                      E
i was pulled out of bed by a single 
thread
   F#                       B
it tugged me to death by my clothing
      B                        E
and i was led to a door i’d never 
seen before
        F#                    
with an old gentle glow of its 
 B
opening
            B                      
where i was a child pressed against
      E
 your flower dress
           F#                    
i clung to it like i did before i 
  B
lost you
            B                      
and i could tell you were cured you
      E
 were happier
             F#                    
your perfect words were the comfort
          B
 that you offered

[Chorus]

(E F# B):

      E       F#                B
and i sat and thought about the way 
that women talk
    E             F#         B
how carefully the words are chosen
             E        F#        B
and without missing a beat you lift 
me off my feet
          E         F#            
and throw me in the depths of the 
B
ocean

[Verse 2]
      B                    E
where i had a dream that i couldn’t 
breathe
         F#               B
that the vicious sea was attacking
   B                       E
it wrestled my tongue as it filled 
my lungs
         F#                    
with the pressure that i’d been 
  B
avoiding
      B                            
and i sank to the depths where the 
E
bodies slept
      F#                 B
and a sign that read its warnings
              B                    
said: “he who opens his mouth while
   E
 already drowned
F#                           B
insults the knowledge of the ocean“

[Chorus]
     E             F#           
so i sat inside to wait for it to 
   B
dry
           E                 F#
until the sun had turned the sea 
          B
into a meadow
           E          F#  B
and when i opened my eyes you were 
by my side
            E           F#        
waiting for me with the trees and 
    B
the pebbles

B E F# B

[Verse 3]
         B                         
and i said: “how could this be“ you
     E
 said: “i just followed the string
              F#                   
that comes to me when i sleep, when
     B
 i’m dreaming
          B                    
my little star, my baby love, i 
        E
wasn’t giving up
      F#                          
just taking the break i thought i 
B
needed“
             B                     
and i said: “build me a wall that’s
      E
 indestructible
      F#               B
place it all around my body
        B                       E
have it blocking the sun so that 
when it comes
        F#                    B
i’ll be right here where you left 
me“

[Chorus]
     E     F#       B
i’ll sleep away the sadness of today
          E           F#         
and bury deep in the sheets that 
B
surround me
          E      F#        B
yeah i’ll sleep until the blankets 
and the quilts
E                 F#   B
dissolve into the soil around me
