Em
I can take a road Takes a little longer
G
Walk before the house where we had our games
Am C Em
Suffering life, play, making, we discovered fire
Em
People like you made me so much stronger
G
People like you made me question blame
Am C Em
Huddled in strength like birds on a sloping wire
Em
Hearing your voice makes me so uneasy
G
Hearing your voice makes me question fame
Am C Em
Money is deaf to the sound of a lover's cry
Em
The language of loss made me so much older
G
The language of loss made me lose my grip
Am C Em
The language of loss made me silent as a newborn child
Em
'cause everything moves in a shifting cycle
G
The unison soars and the pressure dips
Am C Em
Making our way steadfast in the skyward mile
Em
And baby I know I will see you someday
G
Building your house on the very street
Am C Em
You severed your mother's life from your father's land
Em
Finish your home we can join them this way
G
We talked about peace and a little dream
Am C Em
Marriage and love and divorce we don't understand
C/G D
And you know I have to sway my leaves and branches slowly
C G D
Out in the sun, like the silent shout of youth
C/G D
And we ask why do we take these leaps and chances
C G D
Because we have no choice but to wither into truth
C G
And I dreamed you were there
D
All the vital signs were standing
C G
When I dreamed you were with me
D
With the summer at my back
C G
And I dreamed you were there
D
So complete and undemanding
C G
We know the love that gives
D
Is what the living always lack
C/G D
And you know I have to sway my leaves and branches slowly
C G D
Out in the sun, like the silent shout of youth
C/G D
And we ask why do we take these leaps and chances
C G D
