Intro: E  A  B  A 

Verse 1: 
E 
I want something  
D                     C#m 
That's purer than the water  
E 
Like we were  
E 
It's not there now  
D                C#m 
In eloquence and anger  
E 
Are all we have  
E 
Like Saturn's rings  
D           C#m      
An icy loop around me  
E 
Too hard to hold  
E 
Lash out first  
D                    C#m 
At all the things we don't like  
E 
Or understand  

 
                      C#m 
And it's beginning to get to me  
                        B 
That I know more of the stars and sea  
                    A      
Than I do of what's in your head  
                   E 
Barely touching in our cold bed  
                     C#m  
Are you beginning to get get my point  
                             B 
They're always fighting with aching joints  
                       A 
It's doing nothing but tire us out  
                       E 
No one knows what this fight's about  

Verse 2: 
E 
The answer phone  
D                   C#m 
The lonely sound of your voice  
E 
Frozen in time  
E 
I only need  
D                    C#m 
The compass that you gave me  
E 
To guide me on  


                      C#m 
And it's beginning to get to me  
                        B 
That I know more of the stars and sea  
                    A 
Than I do of what's in your head  
                   E 
Barely touching in our cold bed  
                     C#m 
Are you beginning to get my point  
                             B 
They're always fighting with aching joints  
                       A 
It's doing nothing but tire us out  
                       E  
No one knows what this fight's about
  
                      C#m 
It's so thrilling but also wrong  
                             B  
Don't have to prove that you are so strong  
                    A 
Cos I can carry you on my back  
             E 
After our enemies attack  
                    C#m 
I tried to tell you before I left  
                    B 
But I was screaming under my breath  
                            A 
You are the only thing that makes sense  
                     E 
Just ignore all this present tense  

E  A  B  A 

E                     A 
We need to feel breathless with love  
    B                      A  
And not collapse under its weight  
    E               A 
I'm gasping for the air to fill  
   B                          A 
My lungs with everything I've lost  
   E                  A 
We need to feel breathless with love  
    B                       A 
And not collapse under its weight  
    E               A 
I'm gasping for the air to fill  
    B                         A 
My lungs with everything I've lost
