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