Chords

[Intro] Dm Dm Bb Gm [Verse 1]
Dm
Oh let me in
The air out here is thick
               Bb
And I've grown thin

     Gm
Been choking on the wind

Dm
Retching through my skin

                                  Bb
Coughing up love that tastes like spring

Gm                      Dm
Green and starved of oxygen
[Chorus 1]
Bb                 Gm   Bb
But I could be the light

Bb                F         C        Bb
Blaze my own damn trail and you'll follow

     Bb     F     Dm
To a cruel, hard heartland

      Bb     A    Dm   F
I'm a cruel, hard heartland
[Verse 2]
Dm
Grey charcoal blue
Stretched across the sky
            Bb
This lonely moon

       Gm
Leaves footprints in my shoes

Dm
Wonders through my bed

Dm                                Bb
Strokes my paper face and combs my head

Gm                                  Dm
Speaking silent words with hands instead
[Chorus 2]
Bb               Gm  Bb
She could be the light

Bb              F         C           Bb
Help me blaze a trail and they'll follow

     Bb     F    Dm
To a cruel, hard heartland

      Bb     A    Dm    C  Eb
I'm a cruel, hard heartland
[Bridge]
       Gm               C
To the east I raise my cup

        Gm               Eb
Rise at dawn and wake my sluggish heart

  Gm
Beat life again

     Eb                F     A
I am ready now, wasn't ready then
[Verse 3]
  Dm                               Bb
I plunged into the lake to hide my tears

   Gm
Conceal my salty fears

Dm
Heaving on the grass

                                 Bb
Gasping at the air, the sky went dark

    Gm
The fire broke apart

            Dm
We slept at last
[Chorus 3]
Bb              Gm  Bb
When the embers die

Bb                  F        C          Bb
Then I'll take your hand and lead you there

     Bb     F    Dm
To a cruel, hard heartland

      Bb     A    Dm   F       Dm
I'm a cruel, hard heartland
