Verse
C#
I suppose we are born from our silence
D#m
But you seem to take yours with you
Fm Cb
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
D#m
Then turned your beauty away from yourself
Fm Cb
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# D#m G#
That you couldn't find words to refuse
F#
And this high horse you ride
C#
It has broken its stride
D#m A#m G#
As it leads us through worlds built for you
[Verse 2]
C#
So walk with me a little bit further
D#m
So I can find the tenderness you keep inside
Fm Cb
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
D#m
I will leave you all to yourself while you heal
Fm Cb
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# D#m 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
D#m A#m G#
And holds you up for the crowds all to see
[Verse 3]
C#
So forgive me for feeling so strongly
D#m
But I feel like we can finally agree
Fm Cb
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# D#m C#
As you slip away when they start to wilt
F#
But I firmly believe
C#
You're a lot more like Eve
D#m A#m G#
As she enjoys a bit of her guilt
