[Intro]
Bb Eb Gm7 F
[Verse 1]
Bb Eb
The night you asked me to hold your keys
Gm7
I felt like you wanted me to leave
F
I looked up the sky was more than a dream
Bb Eb
I tried so hard to soak it in
Gm7
Take every breath with a clear head
F
So much that I couldn’t let myself forget but
Bb Eb
You put on a movie and we watched
Gm7
Both mostly silent, we barely talked
F
We filled the space with quiet breath
Bb Eb
You fell asleep in innocence
Gm7
I felt all your loneliness
F
I watched you sleep and felt comforted and
[Chorus]
Eb Bb
I tried to sleep too
Eb Eb
I tried to sleep too
Gm7 F
But you made it look so easy
[Interlude]
Bb Eb Gm7 F
[Verse 2]
Bb Eb
Behind the house where I grew up
Gm7
Old cemetery bodies broken up
F
I touched their names in the cold cement
Bb F
I made up lives they could’ve lived
Gm7
Recalled each tale with holiness
F
Though they were made up on whim and
[Chorus]
Eb Bb
I felt the quiet
Eb Bb
I tried to try it
Gm7 F
But my mind was always running crazy loud
[Interlude]
Bb Eb Gm7 F
[Verse 3]
Bb Eb
Could I sit on your floor again?
Gm7
I’ll do much better if I can
F
I was too small then to take up any space but
[Chorus]
Eb Bb
I tried to show you
Eb Bb
I tried to show you
Gm7 F
That I was stronger
