The Measure Of Things

Oscar Isaac


Tom: G

G
Oh lover don't turn away
                            D 
The futures bangin' on your door
      A                 G
Wont you just let it in
With teeth sinkin' in
Beggin' you to sin
D              A             G
The sirens sing so say it now
Before the candles out
                                  A
Before the clocks tick off their arms
                        G
And our memories are sold
When hope was still afloat
                   Bm  F#m  G
Now we make love by rote

Em                        D
   We could make it right
               Am
We'd save our souls tonight
            G                                 D
And with a word I'd take back all the shit I've done
Em                       D
   And if you think its fine
                    Am
Will you lay your head next to mine
           C                                           G
And breathe out the sickness trapped inside your lungs
            D    A      G  D  A
Your lungs, your lungs

G
Oh lover with world aflame
                                     D
This winters freezin' up your charms
    A                    G
In cold I have not known
It drags us into snow
                      D
This heavy load we tow
                    A                  G
Our tripping tongues take time to moan
The spells we used to speak
                              D
The push and pull and do it now
       A
Of boiling summer days
G
Why do you look that way
                        D  F#m  G
Your eyes never were so grey

Em                            D
   And we could make it right
                Am
We'd save our souls tonight
            G                                  D
And with a word I'd take back all the shit I've done
Em                        D
   And if you think its fine
                    Am
Will you lay your head next to mine
           C                                          Em
And breathe out the sickness trapped inside your lungs
                      D
We could make it right
                   Am
We'd save our souls tonight
               G                                    Em
And with a word I'd take back all the shit I've done
                         D
And if you think its fine
                    Am              G
Will you lay your head next to mine
              C                                  G
And breathe in the goodness thats inside my soul
            D    A
My soul, my soul
