Simulation Swarm chords by Big Thief

Intro:

C F G F   (x4)



Verse 1:
C       F
 I tried to tell you
  G         F
I didn’t know how to stay
    C      F
You believe she can see through
 G           F
Cutting at the silent clay
   C         F
A relief, beckon deep blue
G           F
Fettered in the magnet sun
     C      F
Eat the gun as it feeds you
 G         F
Spitting up the oxygen
    C  F G F
Once again
    C  F G F
Once again

Verse 2:
    C     F
Once again, empty horses
 G             F
Gallop through the violet door
    C       F
Follow red, crooked courses
 G           F
Shadows on the moonlit floor
   C        F
O my stars, winged creatures
 G          F
Gathering in silken height
     C      F   G F
Like the last human teachers

Verse 3:
    C       F
Once again, w? must bleed new
G         F
Even as the hours shak?
     C       F
Crystal blood like a dream true
  G            F
A ripple in the wound and wake
    C      F
You believe
I believe too
   G           F
That you are the river of light
    C       F
Who I love, that I cling to
    G         F
In the belly of the empty night

Chorus:
     C  Am      G      F
From the 31st floor of the simulation swarm
      C      Am
With the drone of fluorescence
     G        F
Flicker, fever, fill the form
    Dm        Am
With a warm gush, now I wanna touch
     C       F
Like we never could before
 C        Am        G        F
I’d fly to you tomorrow
I’m not fighting in this war
     C        Am
I wanna drop my arms and take your arms
   G        F
And walk you to the shore

Verse 4:
C   F    G         F
 I remember building an energy shield
     C      F
In your room, like a temple
 G            F
Swallows in the windless field
   C        F
Very thin, with your mother
 G           F
Tall as a pale green tree
   C        F
Very wild, bright as winter
 G          F
Rising with a prism key
    C     F
And a child to deliver
G             F
Tangled in the blood and vine
   C      F  G F
The first little angel

Verse 5:
C     F   G          F
 Little Andy, soft in your newborn skin
   C      F   G        F
Only one, little Andy, will you return again?
   C       F
I believe we can renew
   G        F
And you could be my brother
    C       F       G         F
Once again, fall asleep with our backs against each other
   C      F
You believe
I believe too
   G           F     C
That you are the river of light who I love
    F       G          F
That I sing to in the belly of the empty night


Chorus:
     C  Am      G      F
From the 31st floor of the simulation swarm
      C      Am
With the drone of fluorescence
     G        F
Flicker, fever, fill the form
    Dm        Am
With a warm gush, now I wanna touch
     C       F
Like we never could before
 C        Am        G        F
I’d fly to you tomorrow
I’m not fighting in this war
     C        Am
I wanna drop my arms and take your arms
   G        F
And walk you to the shore
   C      Am       G        F
I’d fly to you tomorrow
I’m not fighting in this war
     C        Am      G F
I wanna drop my arms and take your arms
