[Intro]
C Em C Em G D (2x)
[Verse]
C
Noises in my head
Em
And endless should-haves rain
G
On me like a storm
D
Like a hurricane
C
Losses piled up like wood
Em
Stacked stories high
G
Feels like I've been framed
D
I have no alibi
[Chorus]
C
Used to be that all I needed
G D
Was what I didn't possess
C
Yearning makes you who you
G D
End up as, more or less
C
Whatever choice I made that worked out
Em
Was just a lucky guess
G D
Just a lucky guess
[Verse]
C
Adventures half-discarded
Em
Half held onto now
G
dancing on the ledge
D
To the edge somehow
C
I can still pick out the faces
Em
Though I forget the names
G
And places that I've gone
D
But the urge remains
[Chorus]
C
To throw caution to the wind
G D
Or is it to the stars?
C
To hold out my open hands
G D
Despite my empty arms
C
To wear my heart down on my sleeve
Em
Just like a battle scar
G D
These are battle scars
[Bridge]
C Em G D C Em G D C
[Verse]
C
There's comfort in a late night
Em
Kitchen's radio
G
And in a letter sent
D
Lists of what you know
C
When you don't know anything
Em
You make another one
G
It's good to write it down
D
Starting with the sun
[Chorus]
C
And sometimes church bells, trees and seasons
G D
Marking times gone by
C
Sometimes starlings swell, some tidal moons
G D
And filled up eyes
C
Sometimes everything at once
Em
But sometimes just the sky
G D
Sometimes just the sky
[Outro]
C Em G D (2x then she speeds up the strum ....4-5 times fade out)
