[Intro] G C (x4) [Verse 1]
G          Em
I woke you up

D               C
With poetry and stones

G                  Em
The ragged and the bones

D                 C
Strewn around the room
[Verse 2]
G        Em
I recall

D         C
Another hazy may

Em                   G
Take a round in the ring

     D               C
Gone hungry for the win...
G C (x2) [Chorus 1]
C                                    G
Here’s the part I just lose everything

C                                       Em   G   Em   C
And I cracked a spark just to hear you sing

Em   G   C
Sing...
G C (x4) [Verse 3]
G         Em
I took it out

D                  C
The papers and the trash

G              Em
Old among the cans

D                     C
This golden love gone bad
[Verse 4]
G         Em
Shined it up

D             C
Aiming at the Sun

       Em              G
Just a light year from us

      D                  C
Hop a cab ride and we’re off...
G C (x2) [Chorus 2]
C                                G
And all the ravens came along to play

C                                   Em   G   Em   C
The simple notes you sang just went astray

Em   G   C
Astray...
[Bridge]
Am                              D7
Everything was up, it’s coming down

Am                              D7
Everything was up, it’s coming down

        Cmaj7      Em            Cmaj7
Coming down,   coming,   coming down,   coming...
[Outro] G C (x2)
G                  C
Everything we ever wanted,

G   C     G
      Is you
