Am7
I could barely stand to hold my head up
Dsus4
Thinking I’d be better off the grid
Am7
Cus I could only handle my own heaven
Dsus4 D
Yours was on another plane to his
[Pre-Chorus]
Am7 Dsus4 Am7 Dsus4 C
Cherubim and seraphim and lyres
Am7 Dsus4 Am7 Dsus4 G C
Old Berlin and synonyms for tired
[Chorus]
D Am7
Sinking in the car, I’d kick my floor in
Dsus4
Given all the stars it might be bliss
Am7
The pulp from the memoir you left this morning
Dsus4 D
Framed me in an orange, golden tint
[Verse]
Am7
And if only I had bought the tape recorder
Dsus4
Just to hear you say those words again
Am7
The way you just surrendered made it all the
Sweeter
Dsus4
I was yours
I melted then
[Pre-Chorus]
Am7 Dsus4 Am7 Dsus4 C
You dropped it in and left it on the side
Am7 Dsus4 Am7 Dsus4 C Dsus2
The bathing water’s half of chapter nine
[Chorus]
Dsus2/B Dsus2/C
Sistine blisters
Dsus2/E Dsus2 (Dsus2/C x2) Dsus2
I was cricking my neck out trying to see our drawings of choirs get born
Dsus2/B Dsus2/C
Sixteen, shivers
Dsus2/C Dsus2/E Dsus2 (Dsus2/C x2) Dsus2/E
I remember my legs shaking in my head while you were making your bed up next door
Dsus2 Dsus2/C
Caffeine rivers
Dsus2/C Dsus/E Dsus (Dsus2/C x2) Dsus2/E
Your letters, they read themselves in my head, I left them all on your doorstep that fall
Dsus2 Dsus2/C
Fifty winters
Dsus2/E Dsus2 Dsus2/C
My sweater was red, you were growing your hair out, said you were fed up with it short
[Outro]
G Am7
But we’re on to something now
G C
But we’re on to something now
G Am7
But we’re on to something now
G
Bliss redelivered
Am Bm
I thought we had said not to pull at that thread when you
Kissed me
C
My skin shed
D G C
I had figured instead we’d begin to accept that it wouldn’t get better anymore
