notes of the chords on top for the whole verse.
[Verse 1]
Am
I said 'No I won't go'
(Am) Am/G Am/C
I lie down where the river's made and stay down stay down
Fmaj7
Hand in the water as it's passing me by
Am Am/G Am/C
Then given a fire to keep warm under my wings and don't blow don't blow
Fmaj7 Am
The tiniest flower in the middle of a war
[Chorus]
Fmaj7
I'm hovering shivering touching down momentarily
Am G Cmaj7
Between the fires and the debris
Fmaj7
I'm closing in on the shimmering lights in the distance
Am G C Bb F
Clinging to a string as you're pulling me in
[Interlude]
Am
[Verse 2]
Am Am/G Am/C
As being afraid I'm barefeet shedding skin I'm upside down upside down
Fmaj7
Standing in the corner with the gloves untied
Am Am/G Am/C
Then given a fire keeps me warm out of the winds and your eyes are all clear skies
Fmaj7 Am
A blank sheet of paper free from violence and lies
[Chorus]
Fmaj7
I'm hovering shivering touching down momentarily
Am G Cmaj7
Between the fires and the debris
Fmaj7
I'm closing in on the shimmering lights in the distance
Am G C Bb F
Clinging to a string as you're pulling me in
[Interlude]
Am
[Outro]
Am
You're the sand in the hourglass
(Am)
You're the water on the wind
(Am)
You're the force driving me up
(Am)
Keeping repeating time
(Am)
Keeping repeating time
(Am)
You keep competing time
[Outro]
Am
