I, Carrion (Icarian)

If the wind turns, if I hit a squall

Allow the ground to find its brutal 
way to me

[Primera Parte]

C       G              F        
 I feel lighter than I have in 
       C
so much time
                 G
I've crossed the borderline of 
weightless
         F                   C
One deep breath out from the sky
               G                F 
I've reached a rarer height now 
             C
that I can confirm
        G                      
All our weight is just a burden 
         F            C
offered to us by the world

[Estribillo]

             Em              E7
And though I burn, how could I fall?
          Am        G              
When I am lifted by every word you 
F
say to me
      Dm                  C       
If anything could fall at all, 
      G
it's the world

            C
That falls away from me

[Segunda Parte]

C            G               F  
 You have me floatin' like a 
            C
feather on the sea
                G
While you're as heavy as the world
         F                 C
That you hold your hands beneath
           G                 F    
Once I had wondered what was 
          C
holdin' up the ground
      G                            
I can see that all along, love, it 
    F               C
was you all the way down

[Estribillo]

         Em            E7
Leave it now, I am sky-bound
       Am       G                  
If you need to, darling, lean your 
F
weight to me
             Dm             G
We'll float away, but if we fall
                         C
I only pray, don't fall away from me

[Puente]

     Dm                      G
I do not have wings, love, I never 
will
        Am     C         F
Soarin' over a world you are 
carryin'
         Dm                     
If these heights should bring my 
 G
fall
               Am
Let me be your own
 C      F
Icarian carrion

[Final]

       Em               E7
If the wind turns, if I hit a squall
          Am        G             
Allow the ground to find its 
  F
brutal way to me
            Dm            G
If I should fall, on that day
                         C
I only pray, don't fall away from me
