[Verse 1]
E                            A            E/G#
I want you to know what I forgive you for
E                                A   E/G#
Now that you're all ashes anyway
E                         A         E/G#
Every step into the river pushes you    further away

- Riff 2 -


[Verse 2]
E                            A        E/G#
I want you to hear the farm apologize
    E                               A    E/G#
For letting you believe you could return
E                              A        E/G#
I want you to dream in all the languages    we couldn't learn

- Riff 2 -


[Chorus 1]
F#m7                       B          E                   A
I want you to write my name under your name with the year
F#m7                    B         
I was born and you began to disappear

- Riff 1 -


[Verse 3]
E                           A       E/G#
I want you to watch the generations sprawl
E                            A   E/G#
Constellations in a northern sky
E                         A         E/G#
I want every satellite to circle you    when you arrive

- Riff 2 -


[Chorus 2]
F#m7                     B       E                 A
I want every highway sign to remember we were here
F#m7                        B         
I want you to take your time to disappear

- First part of Riff 1 -

[Outro]
E                            A            E/G#
I want you to know what I forgive you for
E                                A   E/G#
Now that you're all ashes anyway
