[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?
EmBm And if we really come and go unknown
C Couldn't I find myself in jail
 [Chorus] 
DG Oh keeper, how I love you
CG I love you and you and you
DCA7 And returning to myself is such a lonely thing to
C do
GD 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
CG Like a burial at sea
C To be the gospel without words
 [Chorus] 
DG Oh my darlings, how I love you
CG I love you and you and you
DCA7 And returning to myself is such a lonely thing to
C do
GD 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
CG 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] 
DG And I was born to love you
CG I love you and you and you
DCA7 Oh, returning to myself is such a lonely thing to
C do
DCA7C Returning to myself is just returning me to you
G That's the only thing that I want to do
D G CG
