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