[Verse]

D#m 
I have this human love
                  C#    D#m 
It shattered once or twice
D#m
It pulls me up and down
D#m                    C#
If it’s filled with jagged ice
F#                   B                        D#m 
Everyday I’m wanting something I ain’t havin’ mmhm mmhm
D#m 
I have this human heart
              C#    D#m
My mother told me so
D#m                                           C#
She said this shit can go to pieces boy be careful
    F#                    B                     D#m
But you and me and me and you got something magic mmhm

     D#m                                        C#

F#
Like it in that all my shit is right there
B                     D#m
I wear my issues like tattoos across my chest

And people notice I tell them you ain’t seen nothing yet
F#           D#m         C#   D#m 
Brother lift me, brother lift me
