Recluse Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[C]When you're one of us
You can stay here for the rest of your life
I'll open windows when
you want to look out
At the transit of Venus 'cross the sun
As you're gathering dust
Ancient dragons and the cicadas come
The edges jagged as
you're [Am]coming undone
On [F]the white soft feathers of your [C]bed

[Verse 2]
Well you know how [Am]hard I [G]try
But I won't get nowhere
[F]analyzing your [G]life
And it's people that you [Dm]lose
[F]When you become a reclu[C]se

[Verse 3]
Turn [C]away from us
Days are darker when the winter comes
Can't remove yourself from
[Am]what you have done
On [F]the rack where your reputation [C]lies
Do you want to exist
Between the lightning and the mental bliss
Or needing nothing and
with [Am]no one to miss
Like [F]a stray dog pissing on a statue
[C]

[Verse 4]
Solitude is [Am]hard [G]to find
And they're all too busy
[F]organizing your [G]life
But it's people that you [Dm]lose[F]
When you become a re[C]cluse
Well don't be so [Am]nervous [G]now
All I want is to be [F]dancing
round in your [G]light
With the colours that [Dm]you choose
[F]When you become a re [C]clu[D]se
[C]Ohh
[F]I make any[C] excuse to stay hom[D]e
But I [F]can't do that and I
[G]must come back
[C]People that stay at [D]home
[C]Watching a game of [F]thrones
And [C]wondering what comes [D]next
Well you [F]can't do that and
you [G]must come back

[Verse 5]
[C]Pictures of geese fly they around
us and this leads to that
Take us everywhere and [Am]bring us back
Well I [F]dreamt that Jesus had [C]a gun

[Verse 6]
Sure it's getting [Am]cold [G]outside
And they're all to busy
[F]organizing your [G]life
But it's people that [Dm]lose [F]when you become a
[C]re cluse
