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