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