Capo 5
[Verse 1]
C
You were young and you'd stare
Em
With a reverence unimpaired
There was an echo far and faint
Am
Beneath the air remained
You were young and you'd stare
G/B
Where my limbs hung far and fair
Make a ladder of what folds
And climb up in the air
[Chorus]
C Am
You push and you pull and you tell yourself no
F
It's like when you lie down, the veins grow in slow
You push and you pull
G/B
But you'd never know
I crept up in you and I wouldn't let go
[Verse 2]
C
There was no light and I swear
Em
I could see your raring fear
I heard the plains moaning back
Am
I saw the thunder roll o'er black
There was no light and I swear
G/B
We sat still in our fear
Make a ladder of what folds
And climb up in the air
[Chorus]
C Am
You push and you pull and you tell yourself no
F
It's like when you lie down, the veins grow in slow
You push and you pull
G/B
But you'd never know
I crept up in you and I wouldn't let go
[Bridge]
C
I carve out the spaces and I
C
Imparted graces and I
C
I couldn't shake it and I
[Verse 3]
C
I build a constellation lair
Em
Out of the moles that hovered there
A fever billowed with the wind
Am
And obeyed the sky therein
I build a constellation lair
G/B
Out of the moles that hovered there
Make a pardon of what knows
And climb up in the air
[Chorus]
C Am
You push and you pull and you tell yourself no
F
It's like when you lie down, the veins grow in slow
You push and you pull
G/B
But you'd never know
I crept up in you and I wouldn't let go
C Am
You push and you pull and you tell yourself no
F
It's like when you lie down, the veins grow in slow
You push and you pull
G
But you'd never know
C
I crept up in you and I wouldn't let go
