[Intro]
G Cadd9
[Verse 1]
G Cadd9 There’s a creek I would walk to when my house felt like a locked room Em7/B Cadd9 Lean on little wooden bridges, watch the eels playing cool G Cadd9 I could walk a little further down the dirt path on the shoulder Em7/B Cadd9 To the biggest waterfall my city limits could produce
[Pre-Chorus]
A7sus4 Boy it fell Dsus4/B Cadd9 Kept on falling A7sus4 Biting down
N.C.
Cutting rock
Dsus4/B Cadd9 Slow erosion
[Chorus]
Dsus4/A Cadd9 Lay me here on the stone Dsus4/A Cadd9 I’m only here to feed mosquitos Dsus4/A Cadd9 Only skin, only blood G Cadd9 A little less now than there was
[Verse 2]
G Cadd9 In January ‘23 the creek became a raging sea Em7/B Cadd9 A great torrеntial flood that ripped the bridges from thе banks G Cadd9 The soft slope of the valley ravaged, cracked, and wounded badly Em7/B Cadd9 Fallen giants breathing heavily across the severed track
[Pre-Chorus]
A7sus4 Dsus4/B They fell
Stayed fallen
A7sus4
Roots exposedN.C.
Reaching high
Dsus4/B Cadd9 Something’s growing
[Chorus]
Dsus4/A Cadd9 Lay me here by the bones Dsus4/A Cadd9 I’m only here to feed mosquitos A7sus4 Cadd9 Only skin, only blood G Cadd9 A little less now than there was G Cadd9 A little less now than there was
[Solo]

Dsus4/A Cadd9 G Cadd9 G Cadd9
[Verse 3]
G I still go, it’s been a year now Cadd9 Past the chain link fence that keeps out Em7/B With the bridges all still blown out Cadd9 You can’t amble anymore G Cadd9 Overgrown a bit and I take off my shoes to cross it Em7/B Find the current has forgotten Cadd9 How it felt to break the world
[Pre-Chorus]
A7sus4 Dsus4/B If I fall Cadd9 I’ll fall in A7sus4 Soaking wet
N.C.
Fallen pride
Dsus4/B Cadd9 Tui laughing
[Chorus]
Dsus4/A Leave me here Cadd9 Let me go Dsus4/A Cadd9 I’m only here to feed mosquitos Dsus4/A Cadd9 Only skin, only blood G Cadd9 A little less now than there was
[Chorus]
Dsus4/A Just leave me here Cadd9 On my own Dsus4/A Cadd9 I only breathe to feed the egos Dsus4/A Cadd9 Only flesh, only blood G Cadd9 I’m letting go of what I’m not G Cadd9 A little less now than there was G Cadd9 A little less now than there was
