[Verse]
Em D
I was lost in the lakes
A C
And the shapes that your body makes
Em D
That your body makes, that your body makes
A C
That your body makes
[Instrumental]
D C D C
[Verse]
Em D
The mountains said I could find you here
A C
They whispered the snow and the leaves in my ear
Em D
I traced my finger along your trails
A C
Your body was the map, I was lost in it
[Chorus]
G D
Floating over your rocky spine
A C D
The glaciers made you, and now you’re mine
G D
Floating over your rocky spine
A C D
The glaciers made you, and now you’re mine
[Instrumental]
Em D A C
Em D A C
[Verse]
Em D
I was moving across your frozen veneer
A C
The sky was dark but you were clear
Em D
Could you feel my footsteps
A C
And would you shatter, would you shatter, would you
[Instrumental]
D C D C
[Verse]
Em D
And with your soft fingers between my claws
A C
Like purity against resolve
Em D
I could tell, then and there, that we were formed from the clay
A C D
And came from the rocks for the earth to display
G D
They told me to be careful up there
A C D
Where the wind blows a venomous rage through your hair
G D
They told me to be careful up there
A C D
Where the wind rages through your hair
