[to be finger-picked]
[Intro]
D (vamp)
G D A Bm
G D A
G D A Bm
G D A D
[Verse 1]
D G D A Bm
In the same reckless city where great Antonio died
G D A
On the island in the river with a mountain at its side
G D A Bm
I came to scatter ashes of the bridges I've burned
G D A Bm
And I know the name of the song that I heard
G D A D
Yeah, I know the name of the song I heard
[Verse 2]
G D A Bm
Like a moonlight mathematician I subtracted my concerns
G D A
And I multiplied my options and divided my returns
G D A Bm
Sacrificed the angel who was tugging at my shirt
G D A Bm
I was already claimed by the song that I heard
G D A D
Yeah, already chained to the song that I heard
[Verse 3]
G D A Bm
From the corner of my eye I caught the shadow of a girl
G D A
But my shoes were tied together and my face was in the dirt
G D A Bm
Her gentle eyes said everything before she said a word
G D A Bm
And I knew I was changed by the song that I heard
G D A D
Yeah, I knew right away by the song I heard
[Verse 4]
G D A Bm
In the cult of desperation he stayed just behind the curve
G D A
And no one here admits we're getting more than we deserve
G D A Bm
I was born a first child, she was born a third
G D A Bm
We were already named by the songs that we heard
G D A D
Yeah, already claimed by the songs we heard
[Verse 5]
G D A Bm
Did I make you out at Phoenix from the ashes of a bird?
G D A
Did we build our palace and watch it as it burned?
G D A Bm
It's kind of like a lesson that had to be unlearned
[Verse 6]
G D A Bm
Like a fool maker, Fall-taker, Forsaker, Heartbreaker
G D A Bm
Earthquaker, Soul-shaker, Soothsayer, Moon prayer
G D A Bm
Sun slayer, Yeasayer, Mistaker, Rattlesnaker
G D A D
We are already changed by the songs we heard
