[Verse 1]
A D
Oh my life, my life, my life, it stretches behind me
A D
And I see all the miss-steps and the poorly-timed kisses.
A D
And I ache, I ache, I ache when I see all the nothing
A D
that could have been something that should have been you.
[Chorus]
F#m E
But in this forest full of second chances,
A D
your heat-wave pulls me under.
F#m E
In this forest full of second chances,
A D
your green-sap draws me upward.
F#m E
In this forest full of second chances,
A D
my delight is your thunder.
F#m E
In this forest full of second chances,
A D
this child is recovered, is recovered.
F#m E A
F#m E D
[Verse 2]
A D
Oh my bones, my bones, my bones, they're dry as a desert
A D
And the tomb is still barren. And the ghost still has power.
A D
And I thirst, I thirst, I thirst as I lick off the pavement
A D
as if it gives me water, as if it gives me you.
[Chorus]
F#m E
But in this forest full of second chances,
A D
your heat-wave pulls me under.
F#m E
In this forest full of second chances,
A D
your green-sap draws me upward.
F#m E
In this forest full of second chances,
A D
my delight is your thunder.
F#m E
In this forest full of second chances,
A D
this child is recovered, is recovered.
