[Intro]
D Em
[Verse 1]
D Your life, back in a banner year Em A blast of light, a brace of cheers D A house of wild accolades Em Evaporating on an August night
[Interlude]
D I'm looking out into the sound Em I'm breathing deep, I'm turning 'round
[Verse 2]
(I'm saying)
D Em "Do you, do you want to swim out to that island?"
(I'm thinking)
D Touch my wrist. It's shaking just like someday Em Baby when we're older
(I'm wishing)
D Cash will be inside our kisses, someday Em Maybe, baby when I'm gold
[Verse 3]
D Your hair is thin and light Em As a white forest fire in summertime D Your throat, where it's exposed
Looks like a crime
Em
I'll sneak-up slow and whisper quiet[Verse 4]
D Your pretty face looks like an island Em Rising from a sea that's slowly drying
(When I'm saying)
D Em "Do you, do you want to sail out in the silence?"
(I'm asking)
D Em "Will you, will you come over here and do me violence?"
[Verse 5]
D Press your ear up to my wrist Em The blood is racing some way, going wherever
(I'm saying)
D Em "Will you, will you stand up tall and be my shelter?"
D Em
[Verse 6]
D How will we go? What do you think? Em Into the dust? Into the drink? D You slipped your fears into my head Em Some midnight freeway ride along with Jennifer
[Verse 7]
D Hotels, jails, hospital details Em The highway hugs the water D I had to cross a field of seething fire Em To see the moonlight on the river
[Verse 8]
(I'm saying)
D Em "Do you, do you want to come and make me shiver?"
(I'm thinking)
D Squeeze my arm and feel it pull away like someday Em Baby, when we differ
D Em x2
[Verse 9]
D I'll tell you what I didn't say Em I'll tell you about the way I really miss him D You tell them what you want to tell them Em Tell them 'bout the way you really loved her
[Outro]
D Shake it, shake it, shake it off Em And take another D 'Cause no one, no one is going to stop me Em From loving my brother D 'Cause no one, no one is going to stop me Em From loving my brother D No one, no one is going to stop me Em From loving my brother D No one, no one is going to stop me Em From loving my brother D No one, no one is going to stop me Em From loving my brother D Em Not even my brother
D Em x2
