Em Bm D A

I can take or leave it, won't be the woebegone

G Bm Em D

Don't need a model universe to hang your pictures on

Em Bm C A

You hide somewhere, You die somewhere and then this senseless thought:

G Bm Em D

By hating more, you're feeling more, and that's how you get caught

Em Bm Em D

They're never gonna make it easy, of this you can be sure

Em F#m A B

I'll greet you from your wilderness, I'll stay inside your door

Em Bm D A

There is no cage or prison, they have no fence too tall

G Bm Em D

You die more times than anyone and there's still no place to fall

Em Bm Em D

They're never gonna keep it simple, this comes down from above

Em F#m Bm A B

I have no helm, no secret realm, I dream to be at the heart of love, a part

of love

Em Bm D A

Em Bm D A

I bet you can conceal it, but that's just a dead-end track

G Bm Em D

I'll cover you like the driven snow, and then I'll bring you back

A Em Bm C

You'll see, you'll feel like, you'll feel like a banner, unfurled and gently

blown

G Bm Em D

And there before your opening eyes the self you've never known

Em Bm Em D

They're never gonna make it easy, of this you can be sure

Em F#m A B

You'll feel untied, beatified, and loved forever more.
