  Am
I see you in windows

      Am
That open so wide

          G
There's nothing beyond them

       Am
And no one inside
[Verse 2]
     Am
You kick off your sandals

     Am
And shake out your hair

     G
The salt on your shoulders

       Am
Like sparks in the air
[Verse 3]
         Am
There's silt on your ankles

     Am
And sand on your feet

      G
The river too shallow

     Am
The ocean too deep
[Verse 4]
     Am
You smile at your suffering

      Am
The sweetest reprieve

 G
Why did you leave us?

Am
Why did you leave?
[Chorus]
     C
You kick off your sandals

      C
And shake out your hair

      E7
It's torn where you're dancing

      E7
It's torn everywhere
[Verse 5]
      Am
It's torn on the right

          Am
And it's torn on the left

      F
It's torn in the centre

       F              Fmaj7b5   E
Which few can accept
[Verse 6]
      Am
It's torn where there's beauty

      Am
It's torn where there's death

      G
It's torn where there's mercy

     Am
But torn somewhat less
[Verse 7]
      Am
It's torn in the highest

       Am
From kingdom to crown

       G
The messages fly

          Am
But the network is down
[Verse 8]
  Am
Bruised at the shoulder

    Am
And cut at the wrist

     G
The sea rushes home

         Am
To its thimble of mist
[Verse 9]
       Am
The opposites falter

      Am
The spirals reverse

     G
And Eve must re-enter

     Am
The sleep of her birth
{Chorus]
    C
And up through the system

      C
The worlds are withdrawn

      E7
From every dominion

     E7
The mind stood upon

    Am
And now that you told her

    Am
And now that it's done

     F
The name has no number

 F                Fmaj7b5   E
Not even the one
[Verse 10]
      Am
Come gather the pieces

      Am
All scattered and lost

     G
The lie in what's holy

     Am
The light in what's not
[Verse 11]
     Am
The story's been written

      Am
The letter's been sealed

     G
You gave me a lily

    Am
But now it's a field
[Outro]
     Am
You kick off your sandals

     Am
And shake out your hair

      G
It's torn where you're dancing

      Am
It's torn everywhere
