Tom: Am
Am7 Fmaj7 G Cmaj7
[Verse 1]
Am7 Fmaj7
It's getting much colder beyond
G Cmaj7
The sky's bright light I see white smoke fading
Am7
Upon last summer’s sun
Fmaj7 G Cmaj7 C7
Dissolving into honey I let my lonely bones speak louder
[Chorus]
F
And I can't tell the colour
C E7 Dm7 D7sus
Of your eyes, but I feel them burn a fire through my skin
Fmaj7 C
And the rain runs up and down my gutters
E7 Dm7 D7sus Dm7
You hang inside me, build my sweet ruin
[Verse 2]
Am7 Fmaj7
Dust rests on my floor and I dance on its dirt
G Cmaj7
This home wasn't made for one
Am7 Fmaj7
Winter falls upon me, so blue and icy chic
G Cmaj7 C7
It crawls into my steel heart
[Chorus]
F C
And the rain runs up and down my curtains
E7 Dm7 D7sus
With tiny feet that I long to find
Fmaj7 C
And I wish I knew you like I knew them
E7 Dm7 D7sus Dm7
You are more beautiful in the rainfall
[Post-chorus]
C Fm
There is solitude on the river
C/E D
She mirrors the dark folk and the haze
C Fm
You run through me and I shiver
C/E D
Like black ice on my grave
Dsus2 G G7 G/G#
Ooh, ooh...
[Verse 3]
Am7
It's heavy in my blood
Fmaj7 G Cmaj7
I am no longer light I feel lead in my chest
Am7
Running by the freight trains
Fmaj7 G Cmaj7 C7
I'm hiding with the homely in their cardboard beds
[Chorus]
F C
And I wish I had the touch of your hands
E7 Dm7 D7sus
But I feel them running a symphony
F C
And I wish I knew you like I knew your songs
E7 Dm7 D7sus Dm7
But I'm just a wretch resting on your chords
[Post-chorus]
C Fm
There is solitude on the river
C D
She mirrors the dark folk and the haze
C Fm
You run through me and I shiver
C/E D
Like black ice on my grave
C Fm
There is solitude on the river
C D
She mirrors the dark folk and the haze
C Fm
You run through me and I shiver
C/E D
Like black ice on my grave
Dsus2 Fmaj7
Ooh, ooh...
[Instrumental]
Am7 Fmaj7 G Cmaj7
Am7 Fmaj7 G Cmaj7
[Outro]
Am7 Fmaj7
You are my saving grace the songbird
G Cmaj7
That lands on my hand, to bring me life
Am7 Fmaj7
I want to cherish you for longer
G Cmaj7
Than your wings will let you fly
