Tom: C
C G Dm F
[Verse]
C G
Every morning with the cool sunrise
Dm F
I take a cue from another life
C G F
An offering from what's behind those eyes
C G
In one of mine, grandma Uhl played the piano
Dm F
Black grain it was beautiful
C G F
But she sang a melody I didn't know
C G Dm F
C G
I sleep with my mind wide
Dm F
To get a vision of another side
C G F
I never learned that song though I did try
C G
In one of mine was an owl with yellow eyes
Dm F
Gathered light so she could fly
C G F
Though I was close to her she didn't mind
[Chorus]
Am G
Let go of the sands of night
C F C
Hoping to clarify: the good, the hard,
G F
The words that I can't find
[Verse]
C G
In one of mine, we laid still side by side
Dm F
Our bodies in an arc of light
C G F
As yours bled into mine our thoughts entwined
[Bridge]
C G F C G F
C G
Laying there in the hospital he said,
F
"Oh aren't you beautiful
C G F
Come learn my name, you know I think it's time"
C G
In one of mine, took a name from a dying man
F
In exchange for some time as friends
C G F
And sat there by his side then when he said,
Am F
"Here I am alone again,
Dm G Am
tracing over all these old events,
F Dm
thinking over my mistakes,
G
tracing all of my missteps."
C G F
And in the day we say to you,
C
"You did then what you knew to do
G
When you knew better well then
F
you did better
F
you did better
Dm
you did better
Dm
you did better"
[Outro]
C G
Every morning with the cool sunrise
Dm F
I take a cue from another life
C G F
An offering from what's behind those eyes
Am G
Let go of the sands of night
C F C
Hoping to clarify: the good, the hard,
G F
The words that I can't find
C G
Every morning with the cool sunrise
Dm F
I take a cue from a double life
C G F
I'm gathering up light so I can fly
C G
And in my dreams at night
Dm F
I'm hoping I might find
C G F
The messages that filter through my mind
C G F
The good, the hard, the words that I can't find
C G F
I never learned that song though I did try
