Intro: D Em G
 
D                G 
 can't find the forest 
D                 G 
 too stuck on the trees 
D                  G 
 but now you're invested, 
                  D 
 so i'm left pretending 
                 G 
 it's all i can see 

D               G  
 i asked for a window 
D           G 
 to open my cell 
D                 G 
 you came as kaleidoscopes 
                   D 
 climbing, colliding 
                  G 
 you came as yourself 

Em             Bm 
 whether i'm ready 
    A          Em 
 is not up to me 
                    Bm 
 we go where we're ordered 
     A 
 to bunker or beach 
Em                 A 
 to the close of creation 
                     D    G 
 as shells and stories 

D G 
D           G  
 a spiral staircase 
D           G 
 Astoria, Queens 
D                     G 
 i claimed you while conscious 
                    D 
 got sleepy, forgetful, 
                    G 
 and left you in dreams 

Em              Bm 
 you folded your leg 
        A            Em 
 right foot to left knee 
                    Bm 
 you laughed at my back 
      A                    Em 
 said you couldn't believe 
      A 
 how violent I could be 
                       
 just brushing my teeth 

(this part is hard to figure out 
 give me feedback if you can) 
G  Em  Bm   
G  Em  Bm  
G  Em  A 
  
D                  G 
 drove from the service 
D              G 
 spent in my seat 
D               G 
 my woman beside me 
                D 
 a clutch of hydrangeas 
                    G 
 a strange sort of peace 

D                     G  
 in loss, i'm made certain 
D             G 
 unveiled clarity 
D                G 
 it's you i will marry 
                 D 
 my lover, my family 
                 G 
 you always will be 

Em         B  
 but every word 
      A                  Em 
 seemed too small to speak 
                   Bm 
 so we watched the sky reach 
     A           Em 
 ambivalent peaks 
A 
 we made our projections 

 present and free
