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