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