Dawes – The Way You Laugh (Guitar)

C
I suppose we are born from our silence

         Dm
But you seem to take yours with you

            Em                   Bb
You treat all of your love as defiance

          C
Like a child that refuses to bloom

C
You forced me to face all of your beauty

                  Dm
Then turned your beauty away from yourself

      Em                             Bb
This road that we've taken doesn't seem to stop here

             C
But doesn't seem to go anywhere else

                 F
And your heart rests in your chest

         C
Like a charm 'round your neck

         F             Dm        G
That you couldn't find words to refuse

F
And this high horse you ride

        C
It has broken its stride

       Dm              Am            G
As it leads us through worlds built for you

    C
So walk with me a little bit further

                   Dm
So I can find the tenderness you keep inside

          Em                       Bb
God made you with a taste for the madness in love

         C
But you confuse your gift with your pride

       C
And I can't help you with removing that bandage

                 Dm
I will leave you all to yourself while you heal

       Em                  Bb
As I'm learning time is a language

             C
And it's the best way to explain how I feel

F
And while the magician you meet

        C
Sweeps you off your feet

             F         Dm             C
Saying he'll teach you tricks all for free

               F
I'll be in the way that you laugh

       C
As he cuts you in half

    Dm                    Am           G
And holds you up for the crowds all to see

    C
So forgive me for feeling so strongly

       Dm
But I feel like we can finally agree

      Em                       Bb
That true lovers always end up lonely

            C
'Cause they know how good it could be

F
I've heard the men in your wake

         C
Describe you as a snake

       F              Dm            C
As you slip away when they start to wilt

       F
But I firmly believe

         C
You're a lot more like Eve

       Dm       Am          G
As she enjoys a bit of her guilt
