[Intro 1]
[Em]

[Verse 1]
[Em]I can take a road
Takes a little longer
[G]Walk before the house where we
had our games
[Am]Suffering life, play, [B]making,
we discovered fire
[Em]

[Verse 2]
[Em]People like you made me
so much stronger
[G]People like you made me
question blame
[Am]Huddled in strength like [B]birds
on a sloping wire
[Em]

[Verse 3]
[C]Hearing your voice makes me
so uneasy
[G]Hearing your voice makes me
question fame
[Am]Money is deaf to the [B]sound
of a lover's cry
[Em]

[Verse 4]
The language of loss
made me so much older
The [G]language of loss
made me lose my grip
The [Am]language of loss made me [B]si
lent as a newborn child
[Em]

[Verse 5]
'cause everything moves
in a shifting cycle
The [G]unison soars and the pressure dips
[Am]Making our way stead[B]fast
in the skyward mile
[Em]

[Verse 6]
And [C]baby I know I will
see you someday
[G]Building your house on the very street
You [Am]severed your mother's
[B]life from your father's land
[Em]

[Verse 7]
[C]Finish your home we can join them this way
We [G]talked about peace and a little dream
[Am]Mar riage and love and div[B]orce
we don't understand
[Em]

[Verse 8]
And you know [C]I h[Em]ave to sway [Bm]my
leaves [D]and branches slowly
[C]Out in the sun,[G]
like the [Bm]si lent shout of youth

[Verse 9]
[D]And we ask why[C] do [Em]we take[Bm]
these leaps [D]and chances
[C]Because we have no [G]choice but to [Bm]wither into truth

[Bm]
[D]And I

[Verse 10]
[C]dreamed you wer[Em]e there
All the [Bm]vital signs [D]were standing
When [C]I dreamed you were with m[Em]e
With the [Bm]summer at my [D]back

[Verse 11]
And [C]I dreamed you w[Em]ere there
So com[Bm]plete and [D]undemanding
[Bm]We know [C]the love that giv[Em]es
Is what the [Bm]living always [D]lack

[Verse 12]
And you know [C]I h[G]ave to sway[Em] my
leaves [D]and branches slowly
[C]Out in the sun,[G]
like the [Em]si lent shout o[D]f youth

[Verse 13]
And we ask [C]why [G]do we tak[Em]e these
leaps [D]and chances
[C]Because we have [G]no choice but to [Em]wither into
