[Intro]
D G
[Verse 1]
G
Is there some freewheeling watcher
D
Shooting marbles in the sky?
Em
Holding your years between their fingers
G
Watching it burn 'til the fire dies
Why is it heroic to untether?
D
How is alone some holy grail?
Em Bm
And if we really come and go unknown
C
Couldn't I find myself in jail
[Chorus]
D G
Oh keeper, how I love you
C G
I love you and you and you
D C A7
And returning to myself is such a lonely thing to
C
do
G D C G
But it's the only thing to do
[Verse 2]
G
Is it evolving turning inward?
D
Oh what an easy way to be
Em
Only kneeling at the altar of
C#m
The great and mighty me
G
Let me break myself apart
D
Instead and scatter to my birds
C G
Like a burial at sea
C
To be the gospel without words
[Chorus]
D G
Oh my darlings, how I love you
C G
I love you and you and you
D C A7
And returning to myself is such a lonely thing to
C
do
G D C G
But it's the only thing to do
G D G
C D C G
[Bridge]
G
There's no honor in the pilgrimage
C G
Until a soul returns
C
To hold another's hand
G
And then, and only then it learns
[Verse 3]
G
That life is like a stone
D
Only skipping for a time
G
Oh it never really holds its own
C
It'll never see the other side
[Chorus]
D G
And I was born to love you
C G
I love you and you and you
D C A7
Oh, returning to myself is such a lonely thing to
C
do
D C A7 C
Returning to myself is just returning me to you
G
That's the only thing that I want to do
D G C
