The Narrative

D D G G


[Verse 1]

D                 D
  The clouds hold
                  G          G
A storm over this road
D                 D
  You're dreaming
                            G               G
Or at least you've got your eyes closed
D                               D
  And this dormant love you built
                    G           G
Inside your stubborn ways,
D                             D
  Well it's begging now for air,
                       G            G
Oh the sudden breath of change


[Chorus]

Em                     G
   As these waves crash
                       Em
Against the highway cliffs
             G
I'm so scared
                          Em
They'll flood me where I sit
                          G
When roads they change to waterways
     A              D
They never carry home

D G G


[Verse 2]

D                     D
  You pull back (you pull back)
                            G           G
And you angle towards the window
D                          Bm
  Now the rain is crashing down
          A           G             G
And oh my god, you're beautiful
D
  And I'm so unsated
D                                     G                    G
Still I pray you'll hold back your escape (from in these walls)
D                               D
  Yea we've still got time and in my mind
                          G                        G
These bends can be steered straight (and then they'll fall)


[Chorus]

Em                     G
   As these waves crash
                      Em
Against the highway cliffs
             G
I'm so scared
                          Em
They'll flood me where I sit
                          G
When roads they change to waterways
     A                D
They never carry home

Em                   G
   Well I'm sorry for
                       D
The things I had to say
               G
And I'm sorry I
                       Em
I pushed your hand away
             G
From the radio
                       Em
I pushed your hand away
             G A
