[VERSE]
G C G B7
I had a feeling. My heart on my sleeve.
Em C G D G
A house and a porch. A love bigger than me.
G C G B7
I missed the meeting. I failed to believe.
Em C G D G
A thing set in motion is hard to retrieve.
[CHORUS]
C G C G
Like a house and a porch. How we’re born into the dark.
C G D C G
How I couldn’t ask for more than to carry what the other can’t pick up.
[VERSE]
G C G B7
I had a problem, with stretching the truth
Em C G D G
and seeing the world, as unfortunate news.
G C G B7
I looked with my hands. I kept close my eyes.
Em C G D G
I drank with my head down. I told little lies.
[CHORUS]
C G C G
Like a house and a porch. How we’re born into the dark.
C G D C G
How I couldn’t ask for more than to carry what the other can’t pick up.
[VERSE]
G C G B7
If I had a love now, she’d have a way
Em C G D G
of keeping the darkness, apart from the day,
G C G B7
and I’d keep her near me, because now I believe
Em C G D G
a thing set in motion, is hard to retrieve.
[CHORUS]
C G C G
Like a house and a porch. How we’re born into the dark.
C G D C G
How I couldn’t ask for more than to carry what the other can’t pick up.
