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