Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[D]Quick to cry, nothing left.
No [B]fountains rise, no rivulets.
No, [A]"One last thing...", or
"See you then.".
Un[G]wind the scarf from around
[A]your neck.[B]
[D]Turn to climb the catwalk rise
the [B]switchback to the other side.
[A]Cars whir under the overpass
a [G]nosebleed for no reason.

[Verse 2]
Hey there, [G]pal, oh, pal- o- mine.
If you followed my advice,
you're winding up the onramp rise,

[Verse 3]
fast approaching the overpass.
[G]You see me standing at the crest
through the glass,
a heavy silhouette;
shoulders dropped, hips cocked.
But I was only bleeding.
How could you know that I was
only [Em]bleeding?[G]

[Interlude 1]
[G][Asus4][G][D][G]

[Verse 4]
I [G]know, [Bm]I know, I know,
[C]I know that it is only a pinprick.
[Bm]I know that I barely broke the skin.

[Verse 5]
[C]The tenderness of these wolves,
so curious,
[Am]that's why we're
always letting [A]them in
[Bm]to thrash our well appointed
rooms.
[G]You know, [C]I'd do it again
for the thrill [Am]of these cr[G]ystalline pe[Am]aks.
[C]I'm gasping your wilderness in
[G].[Am][C]
[G][Am][A][C]

[Verse 6]
[G]
[D]Switched back to the other side,
[Bm]scarf trailing behin[B]d,
[A]the scheming briars, the would- be snags,
un[G]raveled it all through [Asus4]my hands.
[D]You're polishing

[Verse 7]
portholes in the glass
[Bm]with the cuff of y[A]our slee[Asus4]ve;
coffe cold, a thermos cup.
[G]Shame is cooling on your cheeks.

[Verse 8]
Yes the rivulets did [G]rise
and as they arced into the light,
frozen, twisted, splintering,
a hush of [Em]'ticks' and 'pings'.
