Intro
G#
[Verse 1]
G#
With the conviction of the woman you made me,
I find
G#
Blades of grass from the island you lent me,
I find
D# C#
On every floor, in every drawer
G#
Though I'm not an island, I'm a body of water
G#
Jeweled in the evening, a solitary daughter
D# C#
If picked at by noon, by midnight I'm ruined
[Chorus]
A#m G#
Leave me alone to the books and the radio snow
D# G#
Leave me alone to the charcoal and the dancing shadow
[Verse 2]
G#
If each blade of grass was meant here for me
G#
Split apart, sliced, and wedged in for me
D# C#
Who's gonna treat it? I'm not going to need it
[Chorus]
A#m G#
Leave me alone to the books and the radio snow
D# G#
Leave me alone to the charcoal and the dancing shadow
G#
I am a lake, I don't need to be watered
G#
I am an ocean, I don't need to barter
[Interlude]
D#
I play with the moon, my only friend
G#
It pushes it pulls me, I don't pay rent
G#sus
I don't need the walls to bury my grave
G#
I don't need your company to feel saved
D#
I don't need the sunlight, my curtains don't draw
G#
I don't need objects to keep or to pawn
G#sus
I don't want your pity, concern, or your scorn
G#
I'm calm by my lonesome, I feel right at home
D#
And when the wind blows I get to dancing
G#
My fun is the rhythm of air when it's prancing
-repeat-
[Outro]
A#m G#
Leave me alone to the books and the radio snow
D# G#
Leave me alone to the charcoal and the dancing shadow
