Belief

G#m D#m E

[Verse 1]
                  G#m
Through all of my life

I waver back and forth between
  F#
A belief and not
             E
Believing in anything
                      Emaj7 E
In any solid shape
              G#m
The unfettered mind
         F#
A deeper understanding that holds 
nothing
         Emaj7
That lets sounds come in the ear
And just pass through without 
                   G#m
deciding what it was
                     F#
If it was a jet or a dragon
       E
It was merely a sound without a name
 or a picture

It was every possible thing at once


[Verse 2]
         G#m
I barely ever get to be in this 
state
                      F#
Just quick flashes by surprise

When I'm like standing by a car

Squinting my eyes
                     E
Caught off guard and unpicturesque
                        G#m
I used to sing this one song all the
 time
                             F#
That I made up to try to cut through

When I'd find myself caught up
             E
Entranced in certainty
                 D#m
Staring at a hill

And it went:
                      G#m
"Let's get out of the romance"

Over and over
                      F#
"Let's get out of the romance"
"Please can I go through this life 
              D#m    E
unscared to see that nothing stays 
the same"

"No one knows anything."


[Verse 3]
           G#m
When I was younger and didn't know
          F#
I used to walk around basically 
begging the sky
         E
For some calamity to challenge my 
foundation

When I was young
   G#m
So imagine what it was like to watch
 up close a loved one die
              F#
And then look into the pit

I lived on the edge of it
           Emaj7          E
And had to stay there
                  G#m
Joanne Kyger said:
"We fight incredibly through a 
        F#                       B
hideous mishmash of inheritance
   E
Forgiving for deeper stamina
             G#m
That we go on

The world always goes on
                     F#       B
Breaking us with its changes
          E               G#m 
Until our form, exhausted, runs 
      E
true."


[Verse 4]
               G#m
Out of nowhere love returned
I saw what looked like a god who 
F#
walks among us

I met her, we fell so in love
       E
She is angelic, miraculous, I 
totally lost my mind
           G#m                     
And poured everything into this 
       D#m
sea, this ocean
    G#m                            
And when I came to I saw my face in
                  F#
 a store window's reflection

And there was fear behind those eyes
E                                 
Now I'm back where I was when I 
  G#m
was 20

Trying to stop clinging to a dream
           F#
And let an old idea of love 
dissipate
                           E
Back into formless rolling waves

Of discomfort and uncertainty
                            G#m
The true state of all things
                             F#
I want to wade out into dark water
                  E
Hand in hand with you
I played this song for you and all 
                        G#m
you heard were the words

"Discomfort and uncertainty"
           F#
You asked "How do we get back to how
 it was?"
                  E
And that's when I started to know
                G#m
That I might be in it alone

Devoted to an unknown
F#
Homelessness enthroned
           E
Us and the kids all wind-blown
    G#m
Courageous as bone

Lying down in a storm
     F#
Steadfast, newborn
  E
A house with no door

Exhausted form
        G#m
In your eyes I found home
     F#
I believed you and dove
          E
And oh my god
