Intro C# A#m7 F#
C# A#m7 F#
can't find the forest
C# A#m7 F#
too stuck on the trees
C# A#m7 F#
but now you're invested,
C#
so i'm left pretending
A#m7 F#
it's all i can see
C# A#m7 F#
i asked for a window
C# A#m7 F#
to open my cell
C# A#m7 F#
you came as kaleidoscopes
C#
climbing, colliding
A#m7 F#
you came as yourself
D#m A#m
whether i'm ready
G# D#m
is not up to me
A#m
we go where we're ordered
G#
to bunker or beach
D#m G#
to the close of creation
C# A#m7 F#
as shells and stories
C# A#m7 F#
C# A#m7 F#
a spiral staircase
C# A#m7 F#
Astoria, Queens
C# A#m7 F#
i claimed you while conscious
C#
got sleepy, forgetful,
A#m7 F#
and left you in dreams
D#m A#m
you folded your leg
G# D#m
right foot to left knee
A#m
you laughed at my back
G# D#m
said you couldn't believe
G#
how violent I could be
just brushing my teeth
(this part is hard to figure out
give me feedback if you can)

F# D#m G#
C# A#m7 F#
drove from the service
C# A#m7 F#
spent in my seat
C# A#m7 F#
my woman beside me
C#
a clutch of hydrangeas
A#m7 F#
a strange sort of peace
C# A#m7 F#
in loss, i'm made certain
C# A#m7 F#
unveiled clarity
C# A#m7 F#
it's you i will marry
C#
my lover, my family
A#m7 F#
you always will be
D#m A#m
but every word
G# D#m
seemed too small to speak
A#m
so we watched the sky reach
G# D#m
ambivalent peaks
G#
we made our projections
present and free
