Sometimes Just The Sky

Key:
C Em C Em G D (2x) [Verse]C Noises in my headEm And endless should-haves rainG On me like a stormD Like a hurricaneC Losses piled up like woodEm Stacked stories highG Feels like I've been framedD I have no alibi [Chorus]C Used to be that all I neededG D Was what I didn't possessC Yearning makes you who youG D End up as, more or lessC Whatever choice I made that worked outEm Was just a lucky guessG D Just a lucky guessContinues after the ad[Verse]C Adventures half-discardedEm Half held onto nowG dancing on the ledgeD To the edge somehowC I can still pick out the facesEm Though I forget the namesG And places that I've goneD But the urge remains [Chorus]C To throw caution to the windG D Or is it to the stars?C To hold out my open handsG D Despite my empty armsC To wear my heart down on my sleeveEm Just like a battle scarG D These are battle scars [Bridge]C Em G D C Em G D C [Verse]C There's comfort in a late nightEm Kitchen's radioG And in a letter sentD Lists of what you knowC When you don't know anythingEm You make another oneG It's good to write it downD Starting with the sun [Chorus]C And sometimes church bells, trees and seasonsG D Marking times gone byC Sometimes starlings swell, some tidal moonsG D And filled up eyesC Sometimes everything at onceEm But sometimes just the skyG D Sometimes just the sky
