C                                                  F   C
Out upon the ice flats giant sheets are breaking up
And the mist forms blurry circles
                               F         C
From the bridge lights illuminating us
G                       F      C
But I have fallen for a weaker line
G                    F       C
A soft equation on a slow decline
G                         F        C
A winter thaw has come to shake my mind

G                                    F           C
And if you truly understood what you tried to protect
G                                   F               C
You would come to realize that it's you who must accept
G                              F        C
A little impermanence would be good for you

F          G                   C             F
I remember thinking being hung up on you was bad
F                            G      C            F
But knowing that I'm finally over it is twice as sad
F                  G             C          G     F
And when I feel my lashes come together and pull apart
F                 G                   C
I wish I would've known that from the start
