Crawling Deeper

Tom: Bm

             Bm                                 Em
I'm crawling deeper in this hole where it's too cramped to move like you do
              G                            A
And where the echoes blend my words into a language of their own
                Bm                           Em
And I think the corners I am turning dull my lantern to the outside
        G                              A
And the less that you remember me, the more this path's overgrown
        G                        F#m   
And the way back is just a lucky break   
                        D
That connects me to the dressing up of melody
     
The bite of infidelity
    G                            F#m
And I'd long to swallow one more old song
                  D
Pretending that I have a chance to make you care

About this failing solitaire
       A
Where I'm in here and you're out there

E|-------->>>>>Chor| us<<<<<<<------------
        G                   F#m
Because I'm crawling deeper in
            Em
Into my own skin

Where there's no one to chase away
A                                 G
Or to guess the next thing that I say
G                F#m
I'm invisible to you
                   Em
To your bird's eye view
                         G
I know the angle all too well

It's how I saw before I fell
                            A
But now it's not so hard to tell
                       B#m
I'm crawling deeper in myself
E|------------------------------------|
          B#m                             Em
And these corridors are veined with every word we've ever spoken
        G                              A
And the story that they tell is just a wheel within a wheel
          B#m                            Em
And every time I think I'm crossing into where you cannot find me
        G                            A
You are always right behind me, half inside me half unreal
  G                               F#m
I forget all the skies and crocus petals
               D
A time without retreating like a refugee, from such imagined treachery
    G                              F#m
Now silent, I'm searching out this island
                  D
Pretending that I have a chance to make it where

The morning's not recycled air
    A
And you're more than a prayer
