Obedear

F#m                    D
  I came down over the sleepy 
mountains where our
Bm                           D
  Wide toes plunged into the weeping
 shale to tear our
F#m                           D
  Skin up off from the bottom leaves
 our ankles bare
Bm                           D
  Don't just wander back and forth 
and leave it

[Bridge 1]
F#m           D
Build it into pinnacles and shrines 
of some
Bm                D
  Some ghastly predicament of mine 
you'll find
F#m                   D
  Leaves us plastered to a bed of 
hairs with
Bm                               
Me all coiled up near the bottom 
D
with my chest unbeared

[Chorus]
F#m                             D
  Obedear [oh but dear] the sky   is
 low
Bm                   D
  Gather up its harm   in gauze with
 grateful arms
F#m                             D
  Obedear [oh but dear] the sky   is
 low
Bm                   D
  Gather up its harm   in gauze with
 grateful arms

[Verse 2]
F#m                             D
  Obedear [oh but dear] the sky   is
 low watch
Bm                  D
 Fluent sea men rig   their rudders 
so they'll
F#m                        D
  Graze it with their wind   arrows
           Bm                     
Tis in the fathoms that-that they 
D
brush below-low

[Bridge 2]
F#m                 D
  Oh my dreams come back to me, back
 to me, back to...
Bm               D
  Oh my wrinkles build on me, build 
on me, build on...

[Chorus]
F#m                             D
  Obedear [oh but dear] the sky   is
 low
Bm                   D
  Gather up its harm   in gauze with
 grateful arms
F#m                             D
  Obedear [oh but dear] the sky   is
 low
Bm                   D
  Gather up its harm   in gauze with
 grateful arms
