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