Eb
I, I gazed
F
Upon the Earth
Eb
Observed
C
Every faulted line
Eb
And time
F
She moved so slow it taxed my feeble mind
Eb F N.C.
And I waited impatient for something to come around
Eb F
Did you know I was there?
Eb
Did you know what I needed?
C
How, how long
Eb
How, how long
F Cm
Did I stand in the garden with my breath against the leaves
C Eb
As the trees bowed down and weeds would gather, around my legs up to my knees
Eb C
How, how long?
C Eb
How, how long?
Eb
I, I gazed
F
Into your eyes
Eb
The day
C
You promised you could lie forever
Eb
This way
F
Your hand in mine and the stars singing our
Eb
Names
C N.C.
And I waited impatient for something to come around
Eb F
Did you know what it meant?
Eb
Did you know we were fading?
C
How, how long
Eb
How, how long
F Cm
Did we lie in the soil with our arms and legs tangled up
C Eb
Like the weeds and the branches of the trees that bound our souls and necks to the ground below
C
How, how long
Eb
How long
C
How long
Eb
Didn't mean to take you down
F
Didn’t mean to take you down
Eb
I thought you'd wanna stay
C
I thought we would be fine whatever came our way
Eb
Didn't know my world was dark
F
Didn’t know my world was dark
Cm
Until you came
C
And you wilted with the lack of sun
Cm
Falling prey
F
To the weight
C
And disarray
[pause]
Eb F
Now you know how it felt
Eb
Now you know why I needed it
C
How, how wrong
Eb
How, how wrong
F
You assumed that I could make you feel it was worth it
Eb C Eb
But all I ever did was drag you down and bring you in and out through hell again
F
My goddess of light
C Eb
And spring and all things good
C
How, how wrong
Eb
How, how long
F
Before you break down and fly away with your spirit
Eb C Eb
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
