Verse:
     C          G          Am
There's a voice that pulls me stumbling through a symphony
    F      C        G
And the less of it I need, the more I get
     C       G        Am
'til I'm swept up by the shape of all the centuries
    F      G       C
Like an echo in the chambers of my chest

Verse:
      C        G      Am
I think she fears I'll be a servant to my history
      F        C        G
Or worse, a slave to someone else's misplaced doubts
   C        G         Am
So I try too hard to kill what's out to kill me
     F      G         C
'til I'm blind and hiding in the lion's mouth


Chorus:
    F                    C
And the words she aches to hear pour through my canyon
      F              G
And they're singing in the caverns of my limbs
      C             Am
And though I do my best to try to understand them
     F       G       C
They only follow me like vultures in the end


Verse:
    C         G          Am
I once read that I should write something worth reading
      F         C    G
Or I should do something worth writing about
     C          G       Am
And as my ears they buzz like bees upon the ceiling
      F       G       C
I start to pour a little more than I'm allowed


Verse:
      C         G        Am
I said our hearts know deeper seasons than our memories
        F       C        G
She said "this harvest might sustain us for a year"
    C        G          Am
And of all the thousand ways the world could tempt me
      F      G        C
I've never met a better fighter than her fear


Chorus:
    F                 C
So as I try to breathe the air that she is breathing
    F                G
And we dance a lightless dance upon my floor
   C                 Am
I am burning to tell her she's all i'm needing
        F       G         C
But i'm drowned out by all the noise outside the door


Verse:
C       G       Am
Carried by the current of the morning
F        C       G
Miles below the surface of the dawn
C        G        Am
This is not the place that I was born in
        F        G       C
But it doesn't mean it's not the place where I belong
