Intro
D C G .
Verse 1
GIs there some freewheeling watcher
DShooting marbles in the sky?
C GHolding your ears between their fingers
Watching it burn 'til the fire dies
GWhy is it heroic to untether?
DHow is alone some Holy Grail?
C GAnd if we really come and Go unknown
CCouldn't I find myself in jail?
Chorus
D GOh, keeper how I love you
C GI love you and you and you
D C A CAnd returning to myself is such a lonely thing to do
G D C GBut, it's the only thing to Do .
Verse 2
GIs it evolving, turning inward?
DOh, what an easy way to be
C GOnly kneeling at the altar of
A CThe great and mighty me
GLet me break myself apart instead
DAnd scatter to my birds
CLike a burial at sea
CTo be the gospel without words
Chorus
D GOh, my darlings how I love you
C GI love you and you and you
D C A CAnd returning to myself is such a lonely thing to do
G D C D GBut, it's the only thing to Do .
Verse 3
GThere is no honour in the pilgrimage
C GUntil a soul returns
C GTo hold another's hand
A CAnd then, and only then, it learns
GThat life is like a stone
DOnly skipping for a time
C GOh, it never really holds its own
CIt'll never see the other side
Chorus
D GAnd I was born to love you
C GI love you and you and you
D C D CAnd returning to myself is such a lonely thing to do
D C A CRetuning to myself is just, retuning me to you
G D C GThat's the only thing I wanna Do .
