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