Shimmering Silver

Em    Am            C       G
I was waiting for a moment alone
Em     Am           C       G
Sat beside you when you got home
Em       Am                  C  
I took a breath and you took out
      G
 your phone
   Em     Am      D
So I just did the same
Em     C      D
I just did the same

[Refrain]
C                 G      D
I tried to be the simple answer
C                 G          D  
I tried to be the ground for you
    C
 to stand
              Em          Am      
I’m trying to know what’s out of my 
D
hands

Em Am C G
Em Am C G

[Verse]
Em         Am          C        G
Change the song to whatever you like
Em      Am       C           G
I’m too tired to change your mind, 
so
Em      Am              C
Turn it up if you’re feeling 
      G
inclined
   Em     Am     D
To wander to the sound
Em     C      D
Wander to the sound

[Chorus]
                        G    
The distant rustle of a woman 
    Em
undressing
    C        D            G       
Who could’ve kept you but kept you
 Em
 guessing
C       D               G        
Another sun that didn’t say it 
  Em
was setting
C       Am            D
When it called you outside

Em Am C G (x3)
Am A

[Verse]
Em  Am         C        G
Any loving and helpless tune
Em      Am              C       
Will be old before it’s halfway 
G
through
Em      Am            C      G
And any light I leave on for you
        Em       Am     D
Will be dim next to the moon
       Em     C      D
Who am I next to the moon?

[Chorus]
‘Cause I swear I caught you stealing
 G             Em
 glances at shadows
C        D          G         
Drifting off on the back of a half 
Em
note
C          D             G      
I’ll never know what it was that
     Em
 you had so
C   Am      D   D7
Why would I try

[Chorus]
But I can just see it through your 
G        Em
memory’s filter
C       D                   
Singing back, all in shimmering 
G      Em
silver
C             D        G        
Like there is nothing alive that
       Em
 could fill your
C     Am        D
Heart with such light

[Bridge]
                         G      
If I could only make you talk in 
      Em
your sleep then (I tried to be the 
simple answer)
C         D        G            
Maybe I’d know the ocean you’re 
Em
keeping (I tried to be the ground 
for you to stand)
C         D              G      
You never look me in the eye 
         Em                     C 
when you’re dreaming (I'm dying to
                 Am Asus2 C D
 hold what's out of my...)

[Verse]
Em     Am          C         G
In the arguments I write for us
Em        Am                  C 
About the things I know we’ll 
         G
never bring up
  Em     Am           C
I always ask if I can only be
G        Em        Am   D
What you want when I am gone
       Em        C        D
Will I haunt you when I’m gone?
