[Intro 1]
[G][Em][D][G][C][G]
[Em][D][G]
[C][G]

[Verse 1]
[G]Under your palm
[Em]Arrow's lake[D] stamp[G]s
beside your [C]name[G]
thumb 'cross the lines
[Em]test its weigh[D]t and you [G]begin
to [C]rise[Em][D]
levitate
its [G]enough to [C]lay beside
remain awake
[G]

[Verse 2]
[Em]Perfume rise[G]s and ling[C]ers from the lines
[Em]pulls her curl[G]s across your eyes[C]
[Em]pacifies[G] and replace[C]s the hollow
that [Am]she makes
when she's worlds away
[D]

[Verse 3]
[G]
Hunched over now
[Em]reciprocate
[D]a g[G]arland made in a[C]utumn s[G]hapes
her hazel eyes
[Em]new to t[D]aste
[G]swallowing the [C]rhyme
[Em]shiver shake[D]
[G]no tion crystal[C]lized
[Em]kiss con[D]tained
[G]buttoned down [C]inside
my blue [G]ink[D]

[Verse 4]
[Em]Turning over[G] each phra[C]se
in your lidded eyes
[Em]heavy on t[G]he midnight hour[C]
[Em]write a wa[G]y ever further[C]
down inside [Am]her name
but she's worlds [D]away

[Interlude 1]
[D][Gm][Eb][Bb][Eb]
It [Cm]means so much to

[Verse 5]
[Bb]try[Eb]
though it's bitter every [Bb]time[Eb]
in the [Cm]vi olence of the wa[Bb]it
crawling cross the [Eb]page
to the desolation [Bb]gate
[Eb]and the pers[Cm]immon tree[Bb][Eb]
oh bird I've never [Bb]seen
re[Eb]turn her on your [Cm]speckled
wing [C]to [Bb]me[Eb]
return her back to [A]me
