Fm G F G
Verse 1
Fm G C Every time a guy writes a song, he's a cowboy, a sailor
Fm FmPlaying with the world in his palm like the first pioneer
G CEvery time he opens his mouth, it's a loud movie trailer
Fm FmClipping every image and sound he thinks proves he was here
Chorus
Fm G C a hand, a spike, a physical fight, a flash of light, a curtain
Fm Fma toll, a tithe, the passage of time, a height, a dive, a burden
G Ca girl, a night, a typical type, a siren in the water
Fm Fma scroll, a nod, a message from God, a son, a Holy Father
Verse 2
G CEvery time a guy writes a song, he's a sailor, a cowboy
Fm FmHolding out the world in his palm like he made it himself
G CEvery time I open my mouth, I think, "Wow, what a loud noise"
Fm FmStill on the soapbox, just hoping I seem underwhelmed
Chorus
Fm G C The hand, the pen, the writing again, the wind around the willow
Fm FmThe felt, the ice, the passage of time, the melting down the window
G CThe now, the then, the thinking of "when," the bottle in the ocean
Fm FmThe strike, the pause, the message from God forbid she shows emotion
Interlude
Fm G
Bridge
FmThis isn't rage, it's worth a mention
GThis is a fake internal tension
CSometimes, I spread out one opinion
FmAnd stand on its back to gain attention
FmThis isn't rage, it's too specific
GI like to hate symbolic limits
CThis is no statement, I'm complicit
GThis is a dream, God put me in it
Chorus
Fm G C a hand, a spike, a physical fight, the wind around the willow
Fm Fma toll, a tithe, the passage of time, the melting down the window
G CThe now, the then, the thinking of "when," the siren in the water
Fm FmThe strike, the pause, the message from God, does that make me His daughter?
G Ca hand, a shove, a valley, a jump, a score under the wire
Outro
G FmJust sweep me up, just sweep me up and take me somewhere higher
G CJust sweep me up, just sweep me up and take me somewhere higher
G FmJust sweep me up, just sweep me up and take me somewhere higher
