Verse
C
I suppose we are born from our silence
Dm
But you seem to take yours with you
Em A#
You treat all of your love as defiance
C
Like a child that refuses to bloom
C
You forced me to face all of your beauty
Dm
Then turned your beauty away from yourself
Em A#
This road that we've taken doesn't seem to stop here
C
But doesn't seem to go anywhere else
[Chorus 1]
F
And your heart rests in your chest
C
Like a charm 'round your neck
F Dm G
That you couldn't find words to refuse
F
And this high horse you ride
C
It has broken its stride
Dm Am G
As it leads us through worlds built for you
[Verse 2]
C
So walk with me a little bit further
Dm
So I can find the tenderness you keep inside
Em A#
God made you with a taste for the madness in love
C
But you confuse your gift with your pride
C
And I can't help you with removing that bandage
Dm
I will leave you all to yourself while you heal
Em A#
As I'm learning time is a language
C
And it's the best way to explain how I feel
[Chorus 2]
F
And while the magician you meet
C
Sweeps you off your feet
F Dm C
Saying he'll teach you tricks all for free
F
I'll be in the way that you laugh
C
As he cuts you in half
Dm Am G
And holds you up for the crowds all to see
[Verse 3]
C
So forgive me for feeling so strongly
Dm
But I feel like we can finally agree
Em A#
That true lovers always end up lonely
C
'Cause they know how good it could be
[Chorus 3]
F
I've heard the men in your wake
C
Describe you as a snake
F Dm C
As you slip away when they start to wilt
F
But I firmly believe
C
You're a lot more like Eve
Dm Am G
As she enjoys a bit of her guilt
[Outro]
