Tom: Dm
Dm
The weight of my phone
Dm
Like a tablet of stone
G
Seems to grow with the words I just read
Dm
And it silently falls
Dm
From my hand to the floor
Am G
With the wonders I wished I had said
[Verse]
Dm
And for a time there is timelessness
Dm
Endless furore
G
To the dark I said pour and forgot to say when
Dm
And the words that you wrote
Dm
Come back blacker than smoke
G
I’m so sorry, I’ve done it again
[Interlude]
Dm G Dm G
[Verse]
Dm
So I gather up the candlelight
Dm
Jangle the chimes
G
And mop up what is left of my lungs
Dm
And I climb up the ladder
Dm
Had I taken more care
Am G
I might have seen all the rot in the rungs
[Verse]
Dm
And I pack what is needed
Dm
For the journey to come
G
All my books, all my bracken and booze
Dm
And the door shuts behind me
Dm
And I breathe in the air
Am G
And say yeah, well I’m sorry too
[Refrain]
Dm G
And I stare at the soldiers before me
Dm Am
All my blossoms that have waited to fall
Dm
And I walk
Dm
And I walk
Am
And I walk
G
And I walk
Dm
Knowing every last one of them is painted in light
Am G
As I make myself acquainted with the saint of never getting it right
[Interlude]
Dm F G
(Oh, oh)
Dm F G
(Oh, oh)
[Chorus]
Dm
My dress is on fire
C
And I hurl myself, I heal myself
G
I drag myself like a rug in the rain
Dm
And my saint she is dancing
C
As every step I choose to take
G
Begins to set the world aflame
Dm
And the soldiers march behind me
C G
I can hear them beat their spears
Dm
And for the first time in all my life
C G
I know I’m more than what I fear
[Refrain]
Dm
And I stare
C
At the soldiers before me
G Dm
All my blossoms that have waited to rise
Dm
And I walk (I will walk)
Dm
And I walk (I will walk)
F
And I walk (with you)
G
And I walk
Dm
And I walk (I will walk)
Dm
And I walk (I will walk)
F
And I walk (with you)
G
And I walk
Dm
And I run (love run)
Dm
And I run (love run)
C G
And I scream out to the sky
Dm
(Love run, love run)
F C Dm
You do not get to hurt me just because I asked you once
Dm G Dm Gm
If you were alright
[Outro]
Dm
And I look at the phone
Dm
On the floor and I drink
G
That nice wine you were saving, it's saving me now love
Dm
And my soldiers sit by
Dm
Like I’m newly baptised
Am G
In the blossoms that fell from above
Dm
And I pick up the phone
Dm
Dial your number and wait
C G
And shine like my petals once shone
Dm
And just as it’s ringing
Dm
I whisper aloud
C
To my saint
G
Oh we, we’re gonna get on
Dm F G
(Oh, oh)
