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