[Verse 1]
CI suppose we are born from our silence
But you sDmeem to take yours with you
You treat alEml of your love as defBbiance
Like a chiCld that refuses to bloom
CYou forced me to face all of your beauty
Then turned your bDmeauty away from yourself
This rEmoad that we've taken doesn't seBbem to stop here
But doesn't sCeem to go anywhere else
[Chorus 1]
And your heart reFsts in your chest
Like a chCarm 'round your neck
That you Fcouldn't find Dmwords to rGefuse
FAnd this high horse you ride
It has bCroken its stride
As it lDmeads us through Amworlds built fGor you
[Verse 2]
So wCalk with me a little bit further
So I can find the tDmenderness you keep inside
God made yEmou with a taste for the mBbadness in love
But you cConfuse your gift with your pride
And I cCan't help you with removing that bandage
I will leave you Dmall to yourself while you heal
As I'm Emlearning time is a lBbanguage
And it's the Cbest way to explain how I feel
[Chorus 2]
FAnd while the magician you meet
Sweeps yCou off your feet
Saying he'll Fteach you Dmtricks all for Cfree
I'll be in the Fway that you laugh
As he cCuts you in half
And Dmholds you up for the cAmrowds all to Gsee
[Verse 3]
So fCorgive me for feeling so strongly
But I fDmeel like we can finally agree
That tEmrue lovers always end up Bblonely
'Cause they Cknow how good it could be
[Chorus 3]
FI've heard the men in your wake
Describe Cyou as a snake
As you Fslip away when Dmthey start to Cwilt
But I fFirmly believe
You're a Clot more like Eve
As she Dmenjoys a Ambit of her gGuilt
[Outro]

Chords in this song · guitar

[Verse 1]

I suppose we are born from our silence

But you seem to take yours with you

Em Bb

You treat all of your love as defiance

Like a child that refuses to bloom

You forced me to face all of your beauty

Then turned your beauty away from yourself

Em Bb

This road that we've taken doesn't seem to stop here

But doesn't seem to go anywhere else

[Chorus 1]

And your heart rests in your chest

Like a charm 'round your neck

F Dm G

That you couldn't find words to refuse

And this high horse you ride

It has broken its stride

Dm Am G

As it leads us through worlds built for you

[Verse 2]

So walk with me a little bit further

So I can find the tenderness you keep inside

Em Bb

God made you with a taste for the madness in love

But you confuse your gift with your pride

And I can't help you with removing that bandage

I will leave you all to yourself while you heal

Em Bb

As I'm learning time is a language

And it's the best way to explain how I feel

[Chorus 2]

And while the magician you meet

Sweeps you off your feet

F Dm C

Saying he'll teach you tricks all for free

I'll be in the way that you laugh

As he cuts you in half

Dm Am G

And holds you up for the crowds all to see

[Verse 3]

So forgive me for feeling so strongly

But I feel like we can finally agree

Em Bb

That true lovers always end up lonely

'Cause they know how good it could be

[Chorus 3]

I've heard the men in your wake

Describe you as a snake

F Dm C

As you slip away when they start to wilt

But I firmly believe

You're a lot more like Eve

Dm Am G

As she enjoys a bit of her guilt

[Outro]

C Dm Em Bb C

F C F Dm C F C Dm Am G
