Constellations chords by The Oh Hellos

Intro: B G#m

Verse: 1
B
I can feel it on my tongue
Brick and mortar as thick as scripture
    G#m          D#m        F#
Drawing lines in the sand and laying borders as tall as towers
B
I babble on until my voice is gone

Verse: 2
This hill I'll die on is about 90 meters of bricks
                    G#m      D#m
Colored indigo, inscribed with my name, and lined with cedar
    F#
But the words fall flat like cymbals crashing
   B
Like molars gnashing

F#                     B
'Cause like constellations a million years away
            G#m   C#
Every good intention, every good intention
B        F#           B
Is interpolation, a line we drew in the array
            G#m
Looking for the faces
Looking for the shapes in the silence

Verse: 3
B
All that's left for me to climb to the heavens is the chasm of the night
And a matter of time
        F#
But I hear the rumble
As the tectonic plates start to shake
   B
And I feel my blood pounding like the beat of a drum


F#                     B
'Cause like constellations a million years away
          G#m    C#
Every good intention, every good intention
B        F#           B
Is interpolation, a line we drew in the array
        G#m
Clinging to the faces

Clinging to the shapes in the silence

Solo
C# G# C# B
D# F# B G#m F# B G#


F#                   B
Like constellations imploding in the night
            G#m      F#
Everything is turning, everything is turning
                              B
And the shapes that you drew may change beneath a different light
                G#m
And everything you thought you knew
F#
will fall apart, but you'll be all right

End
B D#m G#m D# B G# G#5
