C (Am)
Warm milk and honey sweeten my teeth
C
From little acorns you
Am
You quietly made me
F C
Made me into me
C (Am)
Paper thin skin stretched over my bones
C
From shells and pebbles you
Am
You quietly made me
F C
Made me a home
C Am F C
But I can't get used to being alone
C Am F G
And I won't get used to being alone
C
Under a full moon
Am
Hopelessly trying to
C Am
Retrace our footsteps in the snow
F G
I don't know when to hang on
C
And when to let go
[Recorder riff without last few notes: C C Am Am C C]
C (Am)
Foxes in boxes and butterfly blues
C
From little acorns you
Am
You quietly made me
F C
Made me into you
C (Am)
Holding it under my tongue 'til it stings
C
From all of my demons
Am
You quietly saved me
F C
Again and again
C Am F C
But now I feel them surface again
C Am F G
Yes I can feel them surface again
C
From little bubbles
Am
Little air bubbles
C Am
Little embolysms grow
F G
I don't know to hang on
F G
Everything I feel feels wrong
F G
I don't know when to hang on
C
And when to let go
