I Belong to You
Lauren O'Connell (Feat. Ryan Lerman)
C
If it were up to me to build this place
Em F
Well I'd have made the miles it takes a little shorter
C
And I think I would tell the hills to lay to waste
Em
And soak up all the Finger Lakes
F C G
So I could straighten the lines
F C G C
Yeah, so I could straighten the lines to anywhere.
C
And if I was told to know my place
Em F
Well, I think I would choose a space closer to yours
C
And I would use those lines I drew to get real close
Em
A finger on my pulse because
F C G
I think that it's strongest there
F C G C Csus4 C
Yeah, I think that it's strongest there near you.
C F C
'Cos I do not belong to the night
F D9/F# G
Mystery or song or moonlight
E Am C
To be a far-begotten soul, I don't know what they do
G C Csus4 C
Don't know where such souls go, but I belong to you.
C
If the ground should start to break
Em F
Well, I think I would allocate more of my bones
C
To keep our legs up and the tiny ones inside our hands
Em
Would plant themselves in door frames and
F C G
Each other or at least I hope
F C G C Csus4 C
With each other, or at least I hope they would.
C F C
'Cos I do not belong to the night
F D9/F# G
Mystery or song or moonlight
E Am C
To be a far-begotten soul, I don't know what they do
G C Csus4 C
Don't know where such souls go, but I belong to you.
Interlude
C Em F C G F C G C
C
If any part of us should start to die
Em F
I'd dig a well and bleed it dry and wait there
C
For something to breathe 'cos I believe or at least I try
Em
That nothing is just born to die
F C G
'Cos I think that we'd all just wait
F C G C
Yeah, I think that we'd all just wait if that were true.
C F C
'Cos I do not belong to the night
F D9/F# G
Mystery or song or moonlight
E Am C
To be a far-begotten soul, I don't know what they do
G C
Don't know where such souls go, but I belong to you.
Em
I belong to you
F G G7 C
I belong to you so long as this world allows me to.
