Chords

[Verse]
Am
the well went dry

C                  G
the blood thinned out

                   Am
I scrapped through

            F
a thousand layers

           C        G
of paint-like years

Am            F
the secret's in

C          G
congested grins

  Am                F              C          G
I....I'm trying to find places to breathe now
[Chorus]
C            F
and if this were a book

     C                  F
I'd call this song the final chapter

Am          Em
and if you read it

          F
you'd be laughin'

C            G      Am
if it could end right now

C         G        Am
the last lines would be
[Verse]
Am       F
my body jolted in

C           G
and out of stolen sound waves

Am           F        C
the world expands or shrinks

        G
on any given Monday

Am       F              C        G
Tuesday evening dyes a room blue

Am        F              C       G
Friday's window has its own view
[Chorus]
C            F
and if this were a book

     C                  F
I'd call this song the final chapter

Am          Em
and if you read it

          F
you'd be laughin'

C            G      Am
if it could end right now

C         G        Am
the last lines would be
[Refrain]
C           G            Am
good friend, how loud do

              F
you want life

             C
to shout her

G           Am      F
answers in your ear
[Verse]
Am                                 F
streetlights are streaming by on stiff necks

Am                           F
connected blurs brand the design of things

C        Dm
keep on counting them

F
Or maybe hold your breath

C             Dm          F
I'm trying to exhale you softly

C     Dm
don't be so vain

F
I'm not impressed in past-tense

C       Dm         F
.....I don't do impressions
[Bridge]
C         G         F
.....the blood has dried (good friend, how loud do)

C          G                  F
now I can wash my hands with tears you cried (you want life to shout her)

Am            G           F
if you could frame this feeling (good friend, how loud do)

Am       G              F
.....at night it would whisper to me
[Refrain]
C           G            Am
good friend, how loud do

              F
you want life

             C
to shout her

G           Am      F
answers in your ear

C           G            Am
good friend, how loud do

              F
you want life

             C
to shout her

G           F       Em
answers in your ear
