[Intro]
Am G x4
[Verse]
Am G
When you were boy you stuck your thumb inside the light
Am G
inside the light morning bottle warm
Am G
Holy compass ready you would run into the wild
Am G
into the wild, gathered in its arms
Am G Am G
in its arms
Am G Am G
in its arms
[Verse]
Am G
When you're in the city you're a tangled native tongue
Am G
another tongue eating fear for free
Am G
Know the wild that wants you, know you're not another pillow
Am G
on a gun drifting off to sleep
F Em F Em
and come home
F Em F Em
and come home
[Chorus]
Am G Am G
Feel your own bones say "heal yourself ... yourself"
Am G Am G
Hear your own heart moan "love yourself ... yourself"
[Verse]
Am G
When you were a girl salt was beading down your back
Am G
and all the braids were tangled in your hair
Am G
Candy for your lips and for your love all you were given
Am G
was a bruise falling down the stairs
[Verse]
Am G
When you're in the city and its talking to itself
Am G
to itself stealing what you sing
Am G
Know the wild that wants you when the sun is underground
Am G
and park police are laughing off your leaves
[Chorus]
Am G Am G
Feel your own bones say "heal yourself ... yourself"
Am G Am G
Hear your own heart moan "love yourself ... yourself
F Em
and come home
F Em
and come home
F Em
and come home
F Em
and come home"
[Outro]
