[Verse 1]
Fadd2 F/Bb Fadd2 F/Bb
When I give these books away will my ink betray me?
Fadd2
Will my stories resist wings
F/Bb Fadd2 BbminMaj7
And grow feet and convince men that I'm boasting?
Fadd2 F/Bb
Or will my psalms seek the company of lonely breaths?
Fadd2
Will they inspire subtle lovers
BbminMaj7
To kiss with mouths they don't have yet?
Fadd2 F/Bb
Boy, whoever reads about how much I adore you
Fadd2 BbminMaj7
I hope my words bring them something new, something new
Bbmin Amin G Gmin
Ooh child bless your heart, keep a tender heart
[Chorus 1]

Ooh child bless your heart, keep a tender heart

Fadd2 F/Bb Fadd2 F/Bb
With you I can empty myself of all my rivers and become a remarkable sky
Fadd2 F/Bb
How could I keep these love documents to myself?
Fadd2 BbminMaj7
How could I restrict what's given me life?
Fadd2 F/Bb Fadd2 BbminMaj7
Today I'll find a kind and burrowing creature that can carry these pages into the ground
Fadd2 F/Bb
He'll recite the details of your love with his family
Fadd2 BbminMaj7
And what was once a whisper will become a deep rumbling sound
[Chorus 2]
