Asus2               Am 
Half mile from the riverside 
Dm                     Am 
Square wood building hard and white 
Asus2               Am 
Iâ??ll take water, Iâ??ll take night 
Dm                      Am 
I will swim through snow and ice 

Asus2           Am 
Laid your story down on me 
Dm                     Am 
forced inside the good belief 
Asus2          Am 
Now I only dream my words 
Dm                      Am 
fly away like blackened birds 

      Am                 C                Dm          Am                                 
Oh I feel these lessons burn inside the person Iâ??ve become 
Dm                        G            Am 
Edges curl and darken as I do what has been done 

Asus2                 Am 
Cheek on floorboard, hand in fire 
Dm                Am 
little sister dressed in white 
Asus2              Am 
Last day she was seen alive 
Dm              Am 
walking to the riverside 
         Am            C                Dm          Am     
We will never get to hide from it no matter how we run 
Dm                                   G            Am 
All things come to find us and weâ??ll do what has been done 

Asus2           Am 
Have your holy, Iâ??ll have mine 
Dm                 Am 
soil and birch and open sky 
Asus2           Am 
All our stories some day go 
Dm                    Am 
dust from air and earth from bone 

       Am                C                Dm                  Am     
Oh I hear the ancients calling that weâ??ll know from where weâ??ve come 
Dm                             G            Am 
There on that horizon we will see what has been done
