Kintsugi Chords

[Verse 1]
          A                 Dadd9
There's a certain point the body can't come back from
   A                           Dadd9
In one year, we've learned the turn of the mouth
    D
The depth that the chest cavity takes
A
Chucky was there for three out of three
D
I was there for the third 'cause I couldn't be
E
There for the one who was closest to me
                                        Dadd9
But I can't say I'd run when things get hard
                       E
It's just that I don't trust myself with my heart
         D
But I've had to let it break a little more
            A
'Cause they say that's what it's for
 
 
[Chorus]
               F#m            A
That's how the light shines in
               D
That's how the light shines in
               F#m          A    D
That's how the light gets in (Mm-mm)

[Verse 2]
   D                              E
So everyone was there, they were standin', laughin'
    A          G#dim        F#m             E
And I'm on the side with my tears streamin' down
        D                    E
There's somethin' about the clutch of the wrist
    A               G#dim        F#m      E
He thought mine was his to carve into his mouth
      D
We've only got hours
      D                             E
And I just can't stop cryin' 'cause all of the ways
         A           G#dim
When you see someone dyin'
    F#m          E              D
You see all your days flash in front of you
                    A                 G#dim F#m E
And you think about who would be with youuuuuuuu
                 D      E
And then there's Donoghue
 
 
[Instrumental]
A G#dim F#m E D E
 
[Bridge]
         A
Daddy, I miss them
           D
I'm in the mountains
             A
I'm probably runnin' away from the feelings I get
       E                     C#
When I think all the things about them
         F#m
Daddy, I miss them
               D
I'm at the Roadrunner Café
             A
I'm probably runnin' away from the thoughts in the day
         E
I'd have things to do with them, but they say
 
 
[Chorus]
               F#m            A
That's how the light shines in
               D
That's how the light shines in
               F#m          A
That's how the light gets in
 
 
[Verse 3]
D                          E
Think by the 3rd of March, I was cracked open
A             G#dim           F#m           E
Finally, the ground was cold, they wouldn't open
 D                              E                  A G#dim
Brought by the sunlight of the spirit to pour into me
          F#m         E      D                  E
There's a name for it in Japanese, it's "Kintsugi"
A              G#m             F#m
They sang folk songs from the '40s
 E           D                           E
Even the fourteen-year old knew "Froggie Came A-Courtin"
A          G#dim    F#m            E
How do my blood relatives know all of these songs?
D                     E                         A G#m F#m E
But don't know anyone left to know songs that I siiiiiiing
 
 
[Chorus]
               D           E
That's how the light gets in
               G           D
That's how the light gets in
 
 
[Bridge]
             A
But daddy, I miss them
               D
I'm at the Roadrunner Café
         A
Probably runnin' away from the feelings today
        E
In the snow-capped mountains of the desert
         F#m
Daddy, I miss them
           D
I'm in the mountains
         A
Probably runnin' away, I've been meaning to say
              E                   C#
That there's nothing to do except know that this is
 
 
[Chorus]
        F#m
How the light gets in
                   D            E
Like cracking, the light gets in
             F#m
It's how the light gets in
               D
That's how the light gets in
               D
That's how the light gets in
            F#m         D       F#m
Then you're golden, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah
 D
Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
             D              E
Just another folk song, but anyway
  A      G#dim     F#m     E
I try so hard, but that's okay
             D            E
It's how the light gets in
             G            D
It's how the light gets in
             D   E      G D
It's how the light gets in
