Chords

Chorus: walk down on the bass string from C to Am (C E Am) and then G
Verse: C E Am G C Am F G C
I pluck the bass note for the first "down" of the strumming pattern.
[Verse 1]
C                              E
The ocean is my favorite conversation

     Am           G                D
She doesn’t interrupt or judge my tone

     C                            Am
So I talk to her at night when my head's not feeling right

         F                  G           C
So much better than just staring at my phone
[Verse 2]
C                              E
I’ve only just begun to name the feeling

             Am           G                D
that comes creeping in my head when I’m alone

      C                              Am
Is it fear of my depression keeps me up at night with questions

            F               G          C
Like who am I and why don’t I already know?
[Chorus]
            C E Am
Is there an antidote

           G                C   E Am
For the feelings that won’t let me go

G               C E  Am
Open arms and open roads

           G                C
Won’t you come and take me home
[Verse 3]
C                                            E
There’s a thread that pulls the night into forever

           Am                 G                 D
Dividing where I’ve been and seeds I’ve not yet sown

            C                               Am
Between the meaning and the fiction I’ll suspend my predilection

             F               G             C
With all the secrets that tomorrow already knows
[Verse 4]
C                                        E
When the wind out in the canyon meets a fire

           Am             G                D
And the burning in the darkness starts to grow

         C                                     Am
It don’t matter your intention with all these late night interventions

         F                   G                C
When the burning world’s the one you used to know
[Chorus]
            C E Am
Is there an antidote

           G                C   E Am
For the feelings that won’t let me go

G               C E  Am
Open arms and open roads

           G                C
Won’t you come and take me home
[Outro]
           C E Am
Is there a remedy

     G              C    E  Am
For all the broken parts of me

       G                C E  Am
The versions that I’ll never be

           G                C
Won’t you come and take me home
