Chords

[Intro] D Em Bm G [Verse 1]
D                     Em
It fell apart just as it began

     Bm                G
In a flash of defiance

D                   Em
You won't take the initiative

       Bm            G
But the rest was mine

D               Em
On demand I will understand

       Bm                       G
What a freefall could feel like

D                Em
You became but a fabled dream

           Bm            G
That would blur in time
[Pre-Chorus]
A              Bm
But a restless heart

A                    G         D
’Cause sometimes the spark you know

    G         Bm
How sweet the glow

     Em                 G/B
That kicks you off your line

          D      Em  Bm  G
Hold your nerve
[Chorus]
D
I was not right

Em
I was bent out

Bm               G
And still left unshown

D
Weighing on that

Em
Time in anguish

Bm             G
Now it left me broke
D Em Bm G [Verse 2]
D                      Em
Is this the sound of a moving ground

       Bm                     G
Or the echoes of self-doubt?

D                       Em
I found the way to some peace of mind

       Bm              G
That I still can't use

D                Em
To meditate on a shifting sand

      Bm                      G
Takes steadfast and sure feet

D                Em
You became but a fabled dream

           Bm             G
That would stir in time
[Pre-Chorus]
A              Bm
But a restless heart

A                    G         D
'Cause sometimes the spark you know

    G         Bm
How sweet the glow

     Em                 G/B
That kicks you off your line

          D      Em  Bm  G
Hold your nerve
[Chorus]
D
I was not right

Em
I was bent out

Bm               G
And still left unsure

D
Weighing on that

Em
Time in anguish

Bm             G
Now it left me broke

D
When you called me

Em
I was anxious

Bm           G
And I felt exposed

D
But if all this

Em
Might be worth it

Bm            G
Then I had to know
D Em Bm G
D
I’m not angry

Em
For the time lost

Bm                 G
That's the turning wheel

D
When I knew then

Em
When I know now

Bm          G
It was justified

D
Baby, all that

Em
Sweet connection

Bm                  G
Sometimes takes its time
