Running Start by Sufjan Stevens Album: Javelin [Intro] C Dm F G C Dm F G [Verse 1]
C     Dm            F               G
If I imagine myself peaceful on the fire escape

C              Dm              F           G
Head first, my hands inside my T-shirt, as we run away

   C                     Dm
So now we have a running start

   Am            G
My body moves in mystic ways

  C                          Dm
I cross my arms to shield my heart

F                        G
As everything turns into waves
[Pre-Chorus]
  Dm            C
I see the light upon the lake

    F                G
The silver moon, the water snake

  Dm              C
A pair of eyes, a gentle breeze

   F                    G
Forgotten tales, a wild beast
[Chorus]
Dm                 C                Dm            G
I know, I know the time has come to ask you for a kiss

      Dm            C            Dm             G
Don't go, my lovely pantomime, receivе of me my only wish

C        Dm
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh

F            G
Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh

C        Dm
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh

F            G
Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
[Verse 2]
C     Dm               F           G
If I align myself with Pisces in a funny way

C           Dm             F                G
Can you, my lovеr, kiss my bracelet, and my shoulder blades?

C                          Dm
We've always had a running start

  F                G
I jump between the trampolines

    C                         Dm
You throw your arms around my heart

   F                      G
As if to say you're all I need
[Pre-Chorus]
    Dm                C
The winter pines, the lonely drake

    F                 G
The light beneath the frozen lake

  Dm              C
A pair of eyes, a gentle breeze

   F               G
Forgotten tales, a wild beast
[Chorus]
Dm                 C                Dm            G
I know, I know the time has come to ask you for a kiss

      Dm            C            Dm             G
Don't go, my lovely pantomime, receivе of me my only wish
C Dm F G C Dm F G
C        Dm

Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh

F            G
Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
