EmMy money melts like sugar in the shower when I don't sing
B7 A EmLike a broken mockingbird that's put in pawn and traded in for diamond jewelry
EmThat shines but only briefly like the golden heart of fall
B7 A EmWhere the afternoons wane quickly and your breath floats in the final beams of evening
[Verse 2]
EmBut I don't need dollars, pounds, or pesos to know I Am rich
B7 A EmI got people who allow themselves to love me and are insane enough to be loved
EmAnd it's funny to think how much time we quietly spend apart
B7 AYou don't need to be a witness to have witness
EmAnd I'm with you now, that's certain
[Pre-Chorus]
Em G B7 Civilize me from the wilderness of constant mercy
A7 Em Guarding a nursery of life
Em G B7 That drifts inside me like a caravan of floating candles
A7 Em Trying not to capsize in the night
[Chorus]
C Em Listen close to the dark
C Em And write down what it says
C A Like its words are your own
A9 C (Em) And dig a hole inside yourself and bury them there
[Instrumental]
Em | Em | Em | Em |
[Verse 2]
EmThanksgiving Day is every day I write a song like this
B7 A EmWhen I get down on all four paws and drag myself by my own jaws for the feeling
EmAnd a wise woman once told me no one has a single voice
B7 AYou're a chorus harmonizing or opposing voices rising
EmOr a string of strangers waiting for their turn to speak
EmSo every day just ask yourself who would you rather be
B7 A EmA conductor or a cop or a night watchmen slowly strolling an asylum
[Pre-Chorus]
Em G B7 Civilize me from the wilderness of constant mercy
A7 Em Cut like a kite string in a storm
Em G B7 That drifts inside me like a caravan of floating candles
A7 Em Huddled in clusters to keep warm
[Chorus]
C Em At the end of the hunt
C Em When you cut what you grow
C A Will you have what you want
A9 C (Em) And feast when fear is fleeced from the sheets of a ghost
[Instrumental]
Em | Em |
Em | Em | B7 | A | Em | Em |
Em | G | B7 | A | Em |
[Chorus]
Em C Em When you open your eyes
C Em To the sound of the dawn
C A Peel a dream off your brain
A9 C Em A film that takes the shape of the surface you dry it on
[Outro]
Em C Em Like a Thanksgiving prayer
C Em You can taste it in the air
