[Intro]
Am 

C     F         Am                                    
A new wind will blow 
        C    F     Am                                  
through everything
        C    F       Am    C  F                            
Through everything I know

[Verse 1]
      Am                 C                            
I was looking into every car
                          F                         
Hoping that someone might see and look back
  Am                    C                             
I knew I let it out too far, I watched it go
           F                                        
I couldn't get it all back
Am                     C                              
Slowed it down below a waltz
                           F                        
Where there was hardly any sway or grace left
          Am                      C                   
It was so slow you could see my faults
               F                                    
Every solitary step and misstep

[Chorus]
F           G                        C                
Down like a leaf in the long grass I lay for hours
               F       G             C                
The thief made off but not with everything
            F          G                             
There was a glow still under the ashes
    C                             F                 
The past was getting ready to let go
     G                   Am  C  F  Am  C  F  Am  C  F  Am  C  F                           
If a new wind would blow

[Verse 2]
Am                 C                                  
Walking into every room
                     F                              
In the aftermath the place felt haunted
   Am                       C                         
By all the things we didn't do
                  F                                 
And the memory of what we wanted
Am                     C                              
Slowed it down below a waltz
                           F                        
Where there was hardly any sway or grace left
          Am                        C                 
It was so slow you could see all my faults
               F                                    
Every solitary step and misstep

[Chorus]
F           G                        C                
Down like a leaf in the long grass I lay for hours
               F       G             C                
The thief made off but not with everything
            F          G                             
There was a glow still under the ashes
    C                             F                 
The past was getting ready to let go
     G                   Am  C  F  Am                         
If a new wind would blow

[Outro]
C     F     Am                      
A new wind
  C      F      Am    C    F    Am      
A new wind will bloooooowwwwwwwwwwwww
        C    F     Am               
Through everything
        C    F       Am             
Through everything I know
        C    F     Am               
Through everything
        C    F       Am             
Through everything I know
        C    F     Am               
Through everything
C     F         Am                  
A new wind will blow
        C    F     Am               
Through everything
        C    F       Am             
Through everything I know
