As recorded by Ron Pope (From the 2025 Album AMERICAN MAN, AMERICAN MUSIC) [Intro] Em D C G Em D C Em D C Em D C [Verse 1]
     Em            D           C
Your breath in the stillness arrests me

        Em           D
And I'm blessing the comedy

C        Am
Loving a prophecy

G           Am             C
Waiting but nothing is stopping me

D              Em       D              C
Tracing the yellows and greens and the crimson

     Am7        G
Your heart is a prison

    Am7        C
And I am convicted

   D              Em7
Convinced in some other life

D             C
There on some other night

Am7        G
I would've found you

  Am7            C
Undressed in the moonlight
[Chorus]
C            Em
As God as my witness

       D/F#       C
In the inky black madness

                     Em7
The nights were much longer

        D/F#          C
And the mornings just passed

        Am7      G
Without our interference

      Am7       C
Never made an appearance

       D                Em
And my heart slowed and sped

       D/F#        C
As you floated and swayed

Am7         G         Am7      Bm            Em7
Leather and traces of places I doubt I'll forget

        C            D
Right beside my left lung

             G     Am7    Em7    D
Where you're kept
[Verse 2]
     Em7       D       C
Porcelain and original sin

     Em          D/F#
Sacrosanct, so divine

        C          Am7
When we run out of time, tell me

G              Am7            C            D
Where's a soul go, there's so much I don't know

        Em         D/F#         C
We slow dance in a room that is burning

Am          G        Am           C
Needing and hurting, blessing and cursing
[Chorus]
C            Em
As God as my witness

       D/F#       C
In the inky black madness

                     Em7
The nights were much longer

        D/F#          C
And the mornings just passed

        Am7      G
Without our interference

      Am7       C
Never made an appearance

       D                Em
And my heart slowed and sped

       D/F#        C
As you floated and swayed

Am7         G         Am7      Bm            Em7
Leather and traces of places I doubt I'll forget

        C            D
Right beside my left lung

             G     Am7    Em7    D
Where you're kept
[Bridge]
      Bm                Em
It is easy to feel like nothing is real

        G                      C          G
And the aches of decisions are not really worth

    D
The price of admission
[Interlude] Em D C Em D C D Em D C Em D C [Chorus]
C            Em
As God as my witness

       D/F#       C
In the inky black madness

                     Em7
The nights were much longer

        D/F#          C
And the mornings just passed

        Am7      G
Without our interference

      Am7       C
Never made an appearance

       D                Em
And my heart slowed and sped

       D/F#        C
As you floated and swayed

Am7         G         Am7      Bm            Em7
Leather and traces of places I doubt I'll forget

        C            D
Right beside my left lung

             G
Where you're kept
[Outro] Am7 Em7 D
             G     Am7    Em   D
Where you're kept
