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