You were spoken for

I spent twenty lifetimes at your door

But your heart was busy within

Building bomb shelters under your skin

Cadd9 D Em

That's the shape I found you in

That's the shape I found you in

G Em C Cadd9

I was calling to you

G Em C Cadd9

It was one thing I knew how to do

G D

But my heart tried to cheat

Em C Cadd9

Building safety nets under my feet

Cadd9 D Em

So if I fell I would fall right in

C D G

That's the shape I found you in

G Em C Cadd9

You were delivered to me

G Em C Cadd9

We were closed as the stores on Christmas eve

G D

So I felt around in the dark

Building rope ladders into your heart

Climbing hand over hand to get in

That's the shape I found you in
