[Intro]
G G
[Verse]
G C
When I checked back in I was a fool and I was kissing underneath the storm of birds
G
They would fly right at us and then swerve
D7
As if trying to act out words
G
She called it a bad omen after I had named it lucky
C
we began to drift from there
G
And that used to be a secret kept with care
D7
‘Till i started writing songs
G
And once that one had ended I was sad but empathetic
C
And it rolled around my head
G
Like a cartoon chase that never ends
D7
Where no one gets to catch the mouse
[Chorus]
G
Sings restless, restless springs
D7
I’m in love with too many things
C
You'll have to find me a bigger heart
G D7
a bigger heart
[Verse]
G
When I looked back up
C
oh i was standing at the border with the sea air in my face
G
Straining for horizons far away
D7
As it was dark as any night
G
And with the cold wind blowin' inlands
That's when I heard the water talking
C G
say "infinity is fine, as long as you let the rest of it be mine
D7
between a rattle and a sigh"
G
Though the party always beacons
There's a bonfire for warming
C
There's a flicker in her eye
G
If I can only find the words to fit your stride
D7
To make that flower bloom
G
Though some evenings are for dancing
Others for blowing candles
C
Wish I knew which was which kind
G
Wish I knew which was which kind
D7
Wish I knew
[Verse]
G
When I checked back in
I was a fool and I was kissing
C
Underneath the storm of birds
G
And it became a city on the run
D7
It'd changed before my eyes
G
Sometimes it gets quiet
C
The kind you can't wish away
G
And I'm convinced it'll be the death of me
D7
The death of me someday
G
When I checked back in I was a fool and I was kissing
G
underneath the storm of birds
