Fm Cm Bb

Chorus: 
 C#   Eb   Fmx 3
C# Cm C
Lyrics:
you felt bitter about it all
some invisible rhythm held you til the dawn, not sleeping
scattering words around your head
and you remember every word I said
you gather up your eyes into a spark
when you blink back a tear
with the strength of striking iron
when you blink back a tear
somehow feeling not at home
when you blink back a tear
and pull your head back from the phone
you were soft then like a moth then
hairs appeared on your skin to keep the warmth in, not eating
scattering words around your head
and you remember every word I said
chorus

Lyrics:

you felt bitter about it all

some invisible rhythm held you til the dawn, not sleeping

scattering words around your head

and you remember every word I said

you gather up your eyes into a spark

when you blink back a tear

with the strength of striking iron

when you blink back a tear

somehow feeling not at home

when you blink back a tear

and pull your head back from the phone

you were soft then like a moth then

hairs appeared on your skin to keep the warmth in, not eating

scattering words around your head

and you remember every word I said
