Map Of The Falling Sky
Magnolia Electric Co.
[intro]
Am C F Dm (x4)
[verse]
Am C
I have paid my debts sometimes
F Dm
With awkward silences
Am C
I was given two ears of corn and the bow
F Dm
I ate the one and sowed the other
Am C F Dm
And brother, I aim straight for the road
Am C F Dm
And brother, I aim straight for the road
[Bridge]
Am C F Dm (x4)
[verse]
Am C
With my wings in one hand and lead in the other
F Dm
From the crossroads to the shore
Am C
What the horizon only tells to us ghosts
F Dm
Is that when it is quiet in our heart
[hook]
Am
We become the diesel
C
We become the smoke
F
We become the prairie
Dm
We become the spark
Am C F Dm
And the only song coming in on the radio
Am C F Dm
The only song on the radio
Am C F Dm
And the only song comin’ in on the radio
[outro]
Am C F Dm
Well you take that map of the falling sky and you lay it across your heart
Am C F Dm
And the loneliness between us is right where you are
Am C F Dm
The loneliness between us is right where you are
