Various Storms & Saints Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[Dm][D][Am][Esus4][Am]
And the air was full
[Em]Of v[F]arious storms and saint
[Esus4]s[E]
Parading in the [Esus4]street s[Am]
As the [Dm]banks began t[Em]o break
And [Am]I'm in the throes of it
Some[Dm]where in the belly of the beast
[Em]But [Am]you took your toll on me
So I [Dm]gave myself over will[Em]ingly
Oh, you got a [Am]hold on me
I don't know how [Dm]I don't
just stand outside [Em]and scream
I am [Dm]teaching myself how to be [Em]free[Am]

[Verse 2]
The monument [Am]of a memory
You tear it down in your head
[Dm]Don't make the mountain [C]your enemy
[Dm]Get out, get up there [C]instead
[Am]You saw the stars
out in front of you
Too tempting not to [C]touch
[Dm]But even thoug[Em]h it shocked you
[Dm]Something's electric
[Em]in your blood[Dm]

[Verse 3]
Can people just un[Am]tie
themselves?
Uncurling like [G]flowers[F]
[Dm]If you could just forgive [Am]yourself
[G]

[Verse 4]
[Am]But still you stumble,
your feet give way
[Dm]Outside the world seems
a vi[Em]olent place
[Am]But you had to have him,
and so you did
[Dm]Some things you let go in [Em]order to live
[Am]While all around you the buildings sway
[Dm]Sing it out loud "Who
[Em]made us this way?"
[Am]I know you're bleeding,
but you'll be okay
[Dm]Hold on to your heart,
[Em]you'll keep it safe
[F]Hold on to your [Em]heart,
don't give [Am]it away

[Verse 5]
Now find a rooftop [Am]to sing from
Now find a hallway to dance
[Dm]You don't need no edge to
[Em]cling from
[Dm]Your heart is there, it's
in your [Am]hands
I know it seems like forever
I know it seems like an age
[Dm]But one day this will be over
I swear it's not [Em]so far away
[Dm]Can people just un

[Verse 6]
[Am]tie themselves?
Uncurling like [G]flower[F]s
[Dm]If you could just
[Am]forgive yourself[G]
[Am]But still you stumble, your feet

[Verse 7]
[Am]
give way
[F]Outside the world seems a viol
[C]ent [Em]place
But you [Am]had to have him,
and so you did
[Dm]Some things you [F]let go in order [Em]to live
[Am]While all around you the buildings sway
[Dm]Sing it out loud "Who made
[Em]us this way?"
[Am]I know you're bleeding, but
you'll be okay
[Dm]Hold on to your heart,
you'll [Em]keep it safe
[F]Hold on [Am]to your heart
