Chords

[Intro] E [Verse 1]
    E
How high

E                          E
Soldiers pull boys in the rain

                E     E
Ground to their toes

              E     E
Ground to the dirt

    E
Oh, my

     E                               E
They spilled down the steps filed in rows

                   E      E
Like hair likes to pour
Like skin loves to warm [Bridge 1]
    G                           G                  A
But teeth don't pull like these chains don't drag around
N.C. Because it's safe at the bottom [Verse 2]
E
Wind

E                        E                E     E
Down to the beds of the leaves bedding of sand

            E         E
Where fire don't burn  (but the tops of trees)

E
Out

E                          E
Out of the head streams a maze

              E       E
Of colors and shapes
That dance from these walls [Bridge 2]
    G                          G                A
But trust don't pay like these guns don't fuck around
N.C. Because it's safe at the bottom [Chorus]
  E                   A
I know what I, what I know, and all I ever need is you

  E                   A
I know what I, what I know, and all I ever need is you
[Verse 3]
E
Down

E                       E                    E     E
Down in the sand lives alone in shackles and bone

                E      E
Meat blood from grown

          E
Gravel and stone
[Bridge 1]
    G                           G                  A
But teeth don't pull like these chains don't drag around
N.C. Because it's safe at the bottom [Verse 4]
E
Calm

    E                          E
But never finds rest in these bones

                  E     E
For what we don't know

                E     E
For all that we know

                    E
It's all that we've known
[Bridge 2]
    G                          G                A
But trust don't pay like these guns don't fuck around
N.C. Because it's safe at the bottom [Chorus]
  E                   A
I know what I, what I know, and all I ever need is you

I know what I, what I know, and all I ever need is you
