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