Salt and Shadow
Thrice
from 'To Be Everywhere Is To Be Nowhere'
[Intro]
C Em
[Verse 1]
C Em
The sky took its cue, every color and hue on display
C Em
'Til thick veils of indigo signal the end of the day
C Em
But each landscape that lies in the mirror of your eyes turns to grey
[Interlude]
C Em
Ooh, ooh
[Verse 2]
C Em
On the edge of a knife, like your living your life on a stage
C Em
You're talking through glass, with your square photographs on a page
C Em
Oh we're never alone but we're each in our own little cage
[Interlude]
C Em
Ooh, ooh
[Chorus 1]
F Am
You're here but it's clear
G
You're just salt and shadow
Dm Am G
Here, but half a world away
Dm Am Em
You're here but you're merely a hologram, so
F G
Here, but still so far away
[Interlude]
C Em
Ooh, ooh
[Verse 3]
C Em
You manage to hide even here by my side where we lay
C Em
Here in this bed where I sense every thread start to fray
C Em
And I feel our skin touch but there's only so much you can say
[Chorus 1]
F Am
You're here but it's clear
G
You're just salt and shadow
Dm Am G
Here, but half a world away
Dm Am Em
You're here but you're merely a hologram, so
F G
Here, but still so far away
[Interlude]
C Em
Ooh, ooh
[Chorus 2]
F Am
You're here but it's clear
G
You're just salt and shadow
F Am G
Here, but half a world away
F Am
You're here but it's clear
G
You're just salt and shadow
Dm Am G
Here, but half a world away
[Outro]
C Am Em G
