Sunken City Chords

[Intro 1]
[D]

[Verse 1]
[D]Sunken City
To be what you are is [A]one [D]thing
To be what you want - - now
that's something else
You say you're finally
afraid of something
I'm holding your hand,
I'm kind [A]of scared myself.
Though it [Bm]might [A]hurt,
what's [F#m]pulling [G]so strong.
[Bm]The map of [A]the sky has a [F#m]place [G]for you
And we've [Bm]all [A]been a[F#m]lone so [G]long
We're [Asus4]footprints and handprints and
knees in the dew.
[D]

[Verse 2]
I like what you say
[A]though you're cry[D]ing
I know what you mean, I go there [G]myself
[D]And it's hard to believe
you'll [G]be flying
It's as [D]hard and as easy
as [A]trust itself.
[D]You know [Bm]it's not [A]just
[F#m]the job [G]or the goals
Or the [Bm]lover who [A]changed while
[F#m]you st[G]ayed the same
It's [Bm]the future [A]and it's
[F#m]needing [G]us whole
Let's [Asus4]go on a hunch
and give this a name...
[D]And go in search of the[A] sun[D]ken cit[Asus4]y
[D]I think it's as close as we are right now[G]
[D]We don't have to move
one sacred moment
So why does it take so [A]long to learn how
[D]Som[Bm]e thi[A]ngs just
[F#m]pull s[G]o strong
Like the [Bm]map o[A]f the sky
[F#m]Is the map [G]of your heart
And we've [Bm]all [A]been a[F#m]part
so [G]long
[Asus4]We're footprints and handprints and knees

[Interlude 1]
in the dark.

[D]

[Verse 3]
You know [D]I was always
the last to follow
And I made it a point to be
the first to laugh
You know that kind of cool is
kind of cold and hollow
And you can write that on my [A]epitaph.
It [D]was a [Bm]flush [A]dream, [F#m]I woke [G]to weep
[Bm]I leapt to[A]ward morning,
[F#m]no more to [G]sleep
[Bm]No more to [A]deny what's
[F#m]ours t[G]o safe keep
[Asus4]The mind in the matter can do it without me.
[D]Let's go in search of the sunken city
I think it's as close as we are right [G]now
We [D]don't have to move a sacred moment
So why does it take so
[A]long to learn [D]how[G][D]
To be what you are is [A]one [D]thing
To be what you want now that's
something [Asus4]else
You say you're [D]fi nally
[A]afraid [D]of something
I'm holding your hand,
I'm kind [A]of scared myself.
