Intro : A
Bm
I wade through the earth,

          D                F#m
Sowing my own, bound up in discords

              G
Spread in the stones,
Planting deep into ready fears.
Em            D
Soak in these heavy rains,

                F#m                      G
Break from your chrysalis beneath the clay.
Though I left you behind,
Bm                 D       
I'm all the while, wanting, to make my way home.

                  Em        G                   A  Bb B
All the while, watching, to see just how you've grown.

              Bm              D
I'm the seeds among you, I am emerald blades

     Em                         G
With other sides and deeper shades.

                Bm            D
I'm the weeds among you, I am constriction.

        Em                   G
I'm the tightness in your chest.

        A    Bm
I could ruin you.
I am the horizon, the sinking sun,
                    Em            G                  Bm
I'm the buried, the believer, the tomorrow that will come.

    Em            Bm
The tomorrow that will come.

              Bm              D

With other sides and deeper shades.

I'm the weeds among you, I am constriction.

              F#  
I could ruin you.

Bm
Convict me of the devil in the details,

F#                            G
Of these crimes; oh so meticulous were we,

            Em
Of passion; I'll plead guilty.

F#
I'll plead guilty to every taken chance.

      Bm  B        Bm               D
Cause I am tangled machinery, I am wreckage.

                G
Distinguish the scars between;
The pleasure as you dragged me down,
       D                           Bm
Or the shards as they dragged you free.

                            Em           D
I am the knotted anchors below the ground,

                                 G
I'm the shadow that weighs you down.

        A                       G         A
I'm the ghost on your lips, the phantom's kiss,

                                     Bm
I'll be the page of your book that's missing.
