Chords

[Intro] Em Bm G [Verse 1]
Em
If I had to find some stray hint to describe it

Bm     G
Absent bouts of escape

Em
Turn his wreckage into one of beheaded prophets

Bm               G
And let them all bow in refrain

Em                      Bm     G
This, this is how we survive, –ive
[Chorus]
Bm  D  Em                   Bm  D    Em
       If I have to find my way back home

                 Bm
In this floating deprivation

           D             Em
They could never deliver me

             C
She says I'm done

           B    G        Em
And bursts into wings of tourmaline, tourmaline
[Verse 2]
Em
If the catatonic walls close in on the hem again

Bm              G
Pull the tether down for me

Em
I’ve been hemorrhaging thе sins of these lessеr men

Bm        G
In cracks I didn't make

Em
Until the lights, they flicker out

Bm                 G
And a voice asks, "Are you safe in this cavern?"

Em
Deep in the fathom span

   Bm                    G
Of outstretched arms, of outstretched arms
[Chorus]
Bm  D  Em                   Bm  D    Em
       If I have to find my way back home

                 Bm
In this floating deprivation

           D             Em
They could never deliver me

             C
She says I'm done

           B    G        Em
And bursts into wings of tourmaline, tourmaline
[Bridge]
Em
Please come

            Am
Please come away with me

C                    B
We won’t conceal the death that caves you in

Em
Please come

            Am
Please come away with me

C                 B
Leaving the mountebank that did you in

Em          Am
    Hear me callin'

C                 B
If your heart, it seeks asylum

Em            Am
    You'll be alright

C                B
If your heart is not too sure
[Chorus]
Bm  D  Em                   Bm  D    Em
       If I have to find my way back home

                 Bm
In this floating deprivation

           D             Em
They could never deliver me

Bm  D  Em                   Bm  D    Em
       If I have to find my way back home

                 Bm
In this floating deprivation

           D             Em
They could never deliver me

             C
She says I'm done

           B    G        Em
And bursts into wings of tourmaline
