Intro:
D G A
D G Asus4 A
D G A
Basing everything I say on the red read words you've been
A
sending my way,
D G Asus4
At the end of each day I'll have lent you a phrase that I've read to...
A
regret 'til I'm red in the face.
G
I won't ask for a cure,
A
not for a verse,
Em
not for a glimpse from the Heavens of Earth,
Bm
or the worst of punishments meant for me first,
D
or the reasons I've been here for seasons and turns,
A
chasing history round with the birds,
G D
for the secrets in sounds and the weeping of work.
D G A
D G A
D G
And I'll learn of the waiting release,
A
or of him the releaser,
commander in chief,
D G
and police of the purified and of the beasts,
Asus4 A
so what else?
D G
And beyond and beyond and beyond
A
being bonded to flesh,
D
And to lessons and questions and tests,
G Asus4 A
we might see what's left and what's leaving its weight.
G
I won't ask for a cure,
A
not for a verse,
Em
not for a glimpse from the Heavens of Earth,
Bm
or the worst of punishments meant for me first,
D
or the reasons I've been here for seasons and turns,
A
chasing history round with the birds,
G D
for the secrets in sounds and the weeping of work.
Solo:

D
Deep beneath the ocean waves,
G
there is a whale or two
as big as you might ever be as small.
D
But the wails that a boy brings home
G
can be as big as the sea,
little trees, or any ocean breeze.
D
Don't make me have to choose which side.
G
There ain't no side to take if you're wide
A Asus4
awake and free.
A Asus4
Awake and free.
D
High above the mountain range
G
there is a gull or three
as big as me, maybe twice as strong.
D
If I tried to sing 'em this old thing
G
they would sing to me a tweedle dee,
or in so many words.
D G
They can fly about as high as i could ever try
A Asus4
to never die, or wonder why I do.
A Asus4
Why I do
A Asus4
Why I do
A Asus4
Why I do
End on D !
