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