Ooo...

Ooo...
C G F Am
I pulled a rope and rang a bell
C G F Am
When you carved your neural runes into my spine
C G F A#m
And then you, you lowered a light for me to decode them
C G F Am
I dug through miles of tangled earth to say I’d try
C G F Am
Ooo...
C G F Am
Ooo...
C G F Am
In your arms I’m silver air and sleeping pills
C G F Am
But you draw your tripwires with poison quills
C G F
A#m
The garden awakes, you’re drawing away, I’m drawing my first breath
C G
But roots hold tight like traplines
F Am
They carry a lot of weight
C G F Am
Don’t save your strength for the end of the dream
C G F
All you’ll have left is please don’t leave
Am
Please don’t leave
C G F Am
Don’t save your strength for the end of the dream
C G F
All you’ll have left is please don’t leave
Am
Please don’t leave
