Em / G D
a stormy thought
A / G A / D
that no one solves
Bridge
Bm F#m
water at the rise is
G
water down below
Bm A
sand in your hand
G
means there is nowhere to go
Chorus
A D
from here on and out
G
the snow is a black coat
F#m D G
even saw you note a back row
Bm A
and the hunger I spoke about
G F#m
hasn’t subsided yet
G F#m G
no, it’s grown
Verse

Lo and behold
D/ F#m D
a cloud shaped like

means water down below
Bm A
sand in your hand
G
means there is nowhere to go
Chorus
A D
from here on and out

the snow is a black coat
F#m D G
even saw you note a back row
Bm A
and the hunger I spoke about
G F#m
hasn’t subsided yet
G F#m
no, it’s grown
G
and its growing
Last
F#m A G
it’s heartening and disarms so close
F#m A G
and the reason we are no addicts pose
F#m A G
and the heart when it moves it moves
F#m A G
so loud…………ly
