[Intro]
D G
[Verse 1]
G Is there some freewheeling watcher D Shooting marbles in the sky? Em Holding your years between their fingers G Watching it burn 'til the fire dies
Why is it heroic to untether?
D How is alone some holy grail? Em Bm And if we really come and go unknown C Couldn't I find myself in jail?
[Chorus]
D G Oh, keeper, how I love you C G I love you and you and you D C A7 C And returning to myself is such a lonely thing to do G D C G But it's the only thing to do
[Verse 2]
G Is it evolving, turning inward? D Oh, what an easy way to be Em Only kneeling at the altar of C#m The great and mighty me G Let me break myself apart instead D And scatter to my birds C G Like a burial at sea C To be the gospel without words
[Chorus]
D G Oh, my darlings, how I love you C G I love you and you and you D C A7 C And returning to myself is such a lonely thing to do G D C G But it's the only thing to do
[Instrumental]
G D G
C D C G
[Verse 3]
G There's no honor in the pilgrimage C G Until a soul returns C G To hold another's hand and then
And only then, it learns
G That life is like a stone D Only skipping for a time G Oh, it never really holds its own C It'll never see the other side
[Chorus]
D G And I was born to love you C G I love you and you and you D C A7 C Oh, returning to myself is such a lonely thing to do D C A7 C Returning to myself is just returning me to you G And that's the only thing that I want to do
