Introdução:
E A E
The shy and lonely hunter
A E
who stalks across my chest
A
says ?I?m only seeking glory,? yeah,
B A
but glory never gives you any
E A
rest: me to your body in an arm chair,
E A
wrest: me to the corner of your bed,
E A
rest: we in the place we share our tenderness,
B A E
it?s there I?ll rest my head another night,
A
lights at the end of the hallway
E A
will lead you to the back of the bar
E A
where cloudy headed, late for bed,
B A
you wonder where those fleeting families
E A
are: you, living somewhere on the west coast
E A

E A
aren?t you the one who always told me
B A
?boy, it?s easier with time? to be the
E A
saddest sound in a lullaby
F#m B
speck of sand in your daddy?s eye
G# C#m
broke my heart to so much as try
B
to live the life that lay before me
E A
so you step tender when you don?t run
F#m B
so you surrender to everyone
G# C#m
so you remember the place you?ve come to
B
But don?t forget the world adores you,
A E
heart and shaking skin.?
A
How ever will you find a safe place where
B A E
(you never let anyone into the space where) you
A
keep all your timid questions, like
E A
?can I kiss you one more time before I go??
E A
though I know the world is full of hopeless suggestions
B A
it?s us who get caught in the undertow, don?t you know
E A
we were born on a moving train,
F#m B
we took form in the pouring rain,
G# C#m
we try hard, but come short of explaining
B
that lives are for living and hearts are for changing yeah.
E A
Forget, an instant, to stay the same!
F#m B
Not us nor mountains go as they came!
G# C#m
All these things we?ll refuse to be framed in
B E
From what we?ve been given to what?s rearranging yeah.
