C
I, I gazed
D
Upon the Earth
C
Observed
A
Every faulted line
C
And time
D
She moved so slow it taxed my feeble mind
C D N.C.
And I waited impatient for something to come around
C D
Did you know I was there?
C
Did you know what I needed?
A
How, how long
C
How, how long
D Am
Did I stand in the garden with my breath against the leaves
A C
As the trees bowed down and weeds would gather, around my legs up to my knees
C A
How, how long?
A C
How, how long?
C
I, I gazed
D
Into your eyes
C
The day
A
You promised you could lie forever
C
This way
D
Your hand in mine and the stars singing our
C
Names
A N.C.
And I waited impatient for something to come around
C D
Did you know what it meant?
C
Did you know we were fading?
A
How, how long
C
How, how long
D Am
Did we lie in the soil with our arms and legs tangled up
A C
Like the weeds and the branches of the trees that bound our souls and necks to the ground below
A
How, how long
C
How long
A
How long
C
Didn't mean to take you down
D
Didn’t mean to take you down
C
I thought you'd wanna stay
A
I thought we would be fine whatever came our way
C
Didn't know my world was dark
D
Didn’t know my world was dark
Am
Until you came
A
And you wilted with the lack of sun
Am
Falling prey
D
To the weight
A
And disarray
[pause]
C D
Now you know how it felt
C
Now you know why I needed it
A
How, how wrong
C
How, how wrong
D
You assumed that I could make you feel it was worth it
C A C
But all I ever did was drag you down and bring you in and out through hell again
D
My goddess of light
A C
And spring and all things good
A
How, how wrong
C
How, how long
D
Before you break down and fly away with your spirit
C A C
And mine in tow and leave me below with all the fates and shades and the river passing through
A
But I could never blame you
