Intro F Dm7 A#
F Dm7 A#
can't find the forest
F Dm7 A#
too stuck on the trees
F Dm7 A#
but now you're invested,
F
so i'm left pretending
Dm7 A#
it's all i can see
F Dm7 A#
i asked for a window
F Dm7 A#
to open my cell
F Dm7 A#
you came as kaleidoscopes
F
climbing, colliding
Dm7 A#
you came as yourself
Gm Dm
whether i'm ready
C Gm
is not up to me
Dm
we go where we're ordered
C
to bunker or beach
Gm C
to the close of creation
F Dm7 A#
as shells and stories
F Dm7 A#
F Dm7 A#
a spiral staircase
F Dm7 A#
Astoria, Queens
F Dm7 A#
i claimed you while conscious
F
got sleepy, forgetful,
Dm7 A#
and left you in dreams
Gm Dm
you folded your leg
C Gm
right foot to left knee
Dm
you laughed at my back
C Gm
said you couldn't believe
C
how violent I could be
just brushing my teeth
(this part is hard to figure out
give me feedback if you can)

A# Gm C
F Dm7 A#
drove from the service
F Dm7 A#
spent in my seat
F Dm7 A#
my woman beside me
F
a clutch of hydrangeas
Dm7 A#
a strange sort of peace
F Dm7 A#
in loss, i'm made certain
F Dm7 A#
unveiled clarity
F Dm7 A#
it's you i will marry
F
my lover, my family
Dm7 A#
you always will be
Gm Dm
but every word
C Gm
seemed too small to speak
Dm
so we watched the sky reach
C Gm
ambivalent peaks
C
we made our projections
present and free
