Capo 2.
[Intro]
G Bm Dm C G D G
G Bm Dm C G D G
[Verse 1]
Gdon't move an inBmch
Dmlisten for a sinCging
hitting in your bGones like they were forDtsG  
Gif you hear what I heBmar
Dmdon't just sit thCere
we are only strumming waGter
on this most uDnlikely couGrt
[Verse 2]
(same chords continue)
you got blown shore to shore
not quite sailing
riding on the trade winds of age
things blow in
don't just cast them
say it now, what you want to stay
I was once on a long boat
star mapping the night roots
lightening the load
just in case
but things float in to be taken
if you don't know by now what will stay
Gso don't move an inch
don't move a siBmngle second
until the shCade behind your thoughts is not confuseDd
because I felt yoGur inch
I know the sceBmnt as well as any
clot in your guaCrd
and all paints or pollen
brick in your moDrtar
petals to soaking
on the crCacks
thicker or finer
milk in your wDater
black in your primer
wood in your bruCsh
now I am your cloth
whatever you waDnt
the best is upon us
Cits a finicky muse 
with only potentDial
Gto Bmchoose
Gto Bmchoose
 G   Bmuntil the end

Capo 2.

[Intro]

G Bm Dm C G D G

[Verse 1]

G Bm

don't move an inch

Dm C

listen for a singing

G D G

hitting in your bones like they were forts

G Bm

if you hear what I hear

Dm C

don't just sit there

we are only strumming water

D G

on this most unlikely court

[Verse 2]

(same chords continue)

you got blown shore to shore

not quite sailing

riding on the trade winds of age

things blow in

don't just cast them

say it now, what you want to stay

I was once on a long boat

star mapping the night roots

lightening the load

just in case

but things float in to be taken

if you don't know by now what will stay

so don't move an inch

don't move a single second

C D

until the shade behind your thoughts is not confused

because I felt your inch

I know the scent as well as any

clot in your guard

and all paints or pollen

brick in your mortar

petals to soaking

on the cracks

thicker or finer

milk in your water

black in your primer

wood in your brush

now I am your cloth

whatever you want

the best is upon us

its a finicky muse

with only potential

G Bm

to choose

G Bm

to choose

G Bm

until the end
