Verse: E B A E Chorus: A Am E // B A E sit still, don't breathe this is how you leave, you have been deceived nostrils flare, scared eyes you can't event cry, you are paralyzed the fleeting fox, the hunting hound chase each other around was it real, or just pretend? tell me this isn't all there is to being a friend deceased, you feast tell me how i taste at least pursed lips, time drips what a winning waste of a losing grip detect, report truth and lies distort, where's my life support refuge, refugee this is how you flee - showing no mercy

Capo 4 shapes: Verse: Em C Em (end on D) Chorus: Em D A Bridge: C G C G // (but I'm a) Em C D // (heads and birds) C D A Em (end on D) father hear my pleas, don’t make me scrape my knees even diogenes, he agrees with me a syndrome of self neglect is the sin of intellect holding lanterns to the light is no necessity what good is a god with the head of a falcon that lives on the body of man? what sense is the strength of a thoroughbred stallion running like a scared mare every chance that it can? what comfort lies in millions of lives if they’re over before they began? sometimes it shapes me, sometimes it escapes me the good of a god in the body of man father hear my cries, i’m not buying alibis your books so wise disguise the valleys for the peaks if all your world’s a page you’ll never take the stage baby steps assuage the magnitude of quantum leaps heaven knows i’m also froze and apples don’t fall far trust me, any day’s a good day in the shade of where you are but i’m a prudent teacher’s student and I'm just trying to understand heads and birds, actions and words and the good of a god in the body of man Capo 1 shapes: Verse: C Dm Em F G // F Em F G C Chorus: Am Em F G // C Dm Em F G C my thumb is one indecisive prick don’t show him your swatches cause he’ll never pick he’s got all these rules and sticks out when he’s sore but he cradles the neck of his taylor guitar he likes the road and the road likes him too but he’s always hitching the first ride back to you index is on deck, he directs and selects he’s got brilliant ideas for what should come next the grandiose one in the air for the win blessed with hearing the soul and steering the pen like god to adam in michaelangelo’s hue he’s making a point to create a life with you i always done what i could with the hand i was dealt i raised it and shook it, wrote down what I felt never won with a straight, just a face here and there kept hoping for two of a kind for a pair i’m down on one knee so you know where i stand would have folded by now if it weren’t for your hand the third’s like a bird, so careless and wild a chip on her shoulder, the mad middle child she’s mastered the art of the cold hard goodbye when she turns her back proud with her head held up high but index the peacemaker always steps in if you ever see her, my love, you’ll also see him the ring finger’s all heart, she’s made it her mission to cry at commercials and value tradition she won’t claim religion but her finger’s right on it her prayers take the shape of rumi’s love sonnets she’ll stand in a crowd and happily swear to wear any ring you place there last but not least, small but not weak everyone stops to hear him when he speaks his reach may surprise you, for it’s far and long he’s got a tiny physique but he’s character-strong not a word out of place, not a letter untrue he’s pinky promising all his love to you my love, once a chameleon green
changed shapes, fought hard not to be seen shrank into a shallow shamrock dream seeking out a four leaf clover my love, once a jazzy blue learned songs and scales it never knew it sought the sky but stuck like glue to an uncertain ocean lover i've taken to the color wheel to repaint the walls of how i feel my canvas is a heart that needs to heal but aren't all works in progress works of art still my love, now a honey gold smacks of sweetness somehow subtly bold rises sunny to thaw out the cold setting with a gentle hover my love, now a crimson red bleeds deeper than it's ever bled as plump as kissed lips, freshly wed fills to the top and spills right over
summer turned to fall before we knew it
since the day i got the call we’ve been fighting through it though i am in need of sleep and peace of mind you are the beat i keep my rhythm, my rhyme my time is your time my wind is you chime a smile hits your face and it warms me up like sun i’m thankful for this place when i think of how far we’ve come sometimes it takes some time sometimes it takes a fall to realize we’ll be fine if we have each other, we have it all Verse: D E // Bm A G Chorus: D A G you were close enough to pick my pocket but you just took my ticker you ripped beating thing right from its socket leaving only my breath to grow much quicker i sprung forward into love you didn’t want to set your clock and fall back there’s nothing much either of us can do about that but you were close enough to make me sing you were close enough to leave a scar you were close enough but that don’t mean anything cause close enough was still way too far you were close enough to tell my secret there was trust enough so i didn’t hide you were close enough i knew you would keep it so now where do i turn, with whom can i confide? sometimes i like my love so fast and furious
i think if i blink it might pass me by but sometimes i turn it down take in your scents and sounds take a deep breath and look around in case it’s the last time slow going, not knowing if this time will be the last so don’t go so fast, don’t go slow going, not knowing if this time will be the last so don’t go so fast sometimes i miss the chance to find the true romance in a stolen kiss or glance, they just pass me by but sometimes i realize this see the moment for what it is take time to blow another kiss in case it’s the last time i know it gets so hard sometimes to smell the roses the vine i know it gets hard to say i love you with the whole weight of the world right above i know that time just seems to fly don’t let the moment pass you by |
