Bronwyn chords by Hannah Frances

• Difficulty: Beginner

A       A    G    D   A
The brilliance of the day waits for you to wake again
A           A     G
Patient in the way I waited for you to love me again
A      G    D
Bronwyn, I lost the song
A       G D
Gone when I sang
A       G    D  Em    D
Bronwyn, I lost the way home where I knew

Verse 2:
      A       G    D
The ground smokes as it burns to hell
A      G      D
Release me from this sweltered land
   A           G    D
I stand holding to the shepherd's hand
   A         G    D
The man praised and punished me too

Chorus:
A      G    D
Bronwyn, I lost the song
A     G D
Gone when I sang
A       G    D  A     D
Bronwyn, I lost the way home where I knew
   A             D
How to love you and he loved too

Verse 3:
      A      G  D
It was an honor to have loved you
   A         G   D   A    G     D
An honor to have been buried in the ruin and held to the end
     A   G   D      A   G
To have woken inside you, in the hollow hand

Bridge:
A             G    D
Aching and frought in the face of God
A  A7  D       A     G   D
I do not flinch at the blinding sight of light
  A            G     D
I press to the chest for a breath of life
   A      D
I kneel down and pray

Chorus:
A             G        D
Bronwyn, I heard the song in the vanishing day
A            G     Em   G  D
Bronwyn, I laid you down at the mouth of the cave

Outro:
A       G    D    Em    G  D
For no one is mine to hold and no one holds still
  Em     G    D
And no one is left behind
   Em    G     D       A
And no one remains but loss as the centerfold
A             Em    D
As the heart swells to loosen the ribs
A      D
Loosen the ribs
A      D
Loosen the ribs
A      D
Loosen the ribs
