Chords
[Intro]
G Em Bm C x2
[Verse 1]
G Em Bm The night tumbles on us C With gentle pause G Em Bm The cars and the chaos C And muted purr
[Verse 2]
G Em Bm The couch and the kettle C A call to arms G Em Bm Your arms to be exact C They bring me home
[Chorus]
G I sit still Em I hold my tongue Bm Just use your voice C And heaney's words G Em Dig your way through to my heart Bm C Plant your flag and set up camp G I've shut my eyes Em I've closed the blinds Bm C Turn the phones and nightlights off G Em Just you and me and naturalists Bm C Held with tender hands and mouth
[Bridge]
G Em The storm's on the island Bm C Are just whispers now G Em I melt with the warm words Bm C And your coffee tones G Em The dark twisted creatures Bm C Can't find us here G Em Your hand on my forehead Bm C Is the softest vice
[Chorus]
G I sit still Em I hold my tongue Bm Just use your voice C And heaney's words G Em Dig your way through to my heart Bm C Plant your flag and set up camp G I've shut my eyes Em I've closed the blinds Bm C Turn the phones and nightlights off G Em Just you and me and naturalists Bm C Held with tender hands and mouth
[Outro]
G
