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