a billion bees Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[D]I found you grieving in the grass
Sky blood water color [Esus4]blue
You seem so simple sure [A]and sad
So I sat down to grieve with [G]you[D]
You raised your hand to shield your eyes
I shifted left to block [Esus4]the sun
You crossed [Em]your leg
[Esus4]s and cleared y[A]our throat
I waited for you words
[G]to come[D]
But they slept soundly in
your chest
They never made it past [Esus4]your tongue
So we sat silently [A]and still
We thought about the things
[G]wed [D]done
And all the people that we loved
And all the people [Em]that we [Esus4]wronged
I watched the years flash
through your [A]face
Locked my anger in [G]your lungs
[D]So every breath stung more and more
A wave of wips across my [Esus4]spine
A billion bees trapped in my [A]chest
Nails on chalk[G]board every time
[D]'Til I watched your fingers
sneak towards mine
I heard your breath go thing and [Esus4]short
I tucked your hair behind
your [A]ears
And watched your eyes dart [G]back and forth
[D]I sucked your lip and bit your neck
The trees were shaking
[Esus4]at their roots
My angry arms fell cool [A]and calm
My cotton mouth was well [G]with you
[D]So we lay glowing in the grass
To watch the sun swamp with [Esus4]the moon
Trade our future for [A]our past
Present tense was all we [G]knew
