And instead of playing an open F chord, she slides up and plays F on the 12th fret, so:
Chords for the chorus:
F* 12 12 12 0 0 0
C* 777000
Dm7* 555000
[Verse 1]
FIs there some freewheeling watcher
C/FShooting marbles in the sky?
Dm7/F Fmaj7Holding your ears between their fingers
G7/F Dm7/FWatching it burn 'til the fire dies
FWhy is it heroic to untether?
C/FHow is alone some Holy Grail?
Dm7/F Fmaj7And if we really come and Go unknown
Dm7/FCouldn't I find myself in jail?
[Chorus]
C* F*Oh, keeper how I love you
Dm7* F*I love you and you and you
C* Dm7* Fmaj7 Dm7*And returning to myself is such a lonely thing to do
FBut, it's the only thing to do
[Verse 2]
FIs it evolving, turning inward?
C/FOh, what an easy way to be
Dm7/F Fmaj7Only kneeling at the altar of
Dm7/FThe great and mighty me
FLet me break myself apart
C/FInstead and scatter to my birds
Dm7/F Fmaj7Like a burial at sea
Dm7/FTo be the gospel without words
[Chorus]
C* F*Oh, my darlings how I love you
Dm7* F*I love you and you and you
C* Dm7* G4 Dm7And returning to myself is such a lonely thing to do
FBut, it's the only thing to do
[Verse 3]
FThere is no honour in the pilgrimage
C/FUntil a soul returns
Dm7/FTo hold another's hand
N.C.
And then, and only then, it learns
FThat life is like a stone
C/FOnly skipping for a time
Dm7/FOh, it never really holds its own
Dm7/FIt'll never see the other side
[Chorus]
C* F*And I was born to love you
Dm7* F*I love you and you and you
C* Dm7* Fmaj7 Dm7*And returning to myself is such a lonely thing to do
C* Dm7*Returning to myself is just returning me to you
FThat's the only thing I wanna do
