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