Here please forgive me,
C9Cmaj7C9
how could we escape all the bitterness piled upon bitterness?
(pickup) Em Em7
Held in the face of the things that I don't understand
EmEm7Cmaj7
Intellectualize, over and over this helplessness suits us,
C9Cmaj7C9
It's funny how quiet has slipped to our corners and worn all our edges
EmEm7
Away you are watching, breathing and baiting,

Wanting and warming and cautiously waiting

For some simple signal, to creep 'cross our conscience,
Cmaj7C9
Uncover redemption and oh did I mention I
EmEm7
Carried you down, to the St. Lawrence River,

Cmaj7C9
I saw on your face, such a curious grin,
Cmaj7C9
As I let go your hand I was desperate to hold you

Outsmarted myself, and so easily gave up what I
