[Intro]
Fmaj7   E   Am   C/G
Fmaj7   E   Am


[Verse]
Fmaj7
   Adjust your volume
          E
Open your head

Heaven descends
       Am
Sherbet yellow, sherbet blue
    C/G
Sherbet orange, all for you
      Fmaj7
Only you

Magpies on the lawn
E
Down roads, pedal roads
      Am
Was a licorice black knife
         C/G
There was a white-bread strawberry moon
   Fmaj7        E                 Am
And I wanted to swallow the whole damn dry lake
C/G
Seas of green and amber waves


[Chorus]
Fmaj7                              E
I wanted to make it all a part of me
                                          Am
I wanted to take it with me when I have to leavе
Fmaj7                             E
I wanted to make it all a part of me
                                          Am
I wantеd to take it with me when I have to leave

[Verse]
Fmaj7
Read the mandarins
      E
Eat a clementine

Lose your fucking mind
    Am
Blackberry bushes in bloom
      C/G
Fruit grown while on beds of your decay
Fmaj7                  E
Birch tree canopy covers up the sky for me
     Am
In the morning I listen to you sing
   C/G
It puts the heavens underneath my feet
Fmaj7              E
All the continents divide, break up
            Am
And float into the sky
    C/G                           Fmaj7
And I remain contained by this body

When the hand comes for me
         E                   Am
I will not bring with me any need
  Fmaj7
When the hand takes hold
           E                    Am
Believe I will give to it my full release
