please wait by the line...
    (F)
And you know
Dismissive Aprisms rainbowDm  
But my native optimism
isn't broken
             F(F)
by the light
[Verse 2] 
    (F)                  
The idea of life without company
        (F)
Crashed suddenly
It crashed through the Aceiling on me
                   Dm       F(F)
And pinned me to the pine
   (F)         A  
And layer upon layer
Of Dmhope and doubt
Will crush bones to oil in Ftime
[Chorus] 
DAre Ayou a Dpusher Emor Dare Ayou a Gpuller?
        Em(Em)          D        A  G  
I pull the weight towards me
And DI Alack the Dzest Emof a Dlemon, Alooking Gforward
UnEmless I Emhave a Gwoman Dpushing Gme
[Verse 3] 
A caFnopy of red-billed Aquelea
DmPassed over the Fblue
  (F)
A five hour flock,
Not Aone dives down,
              Dm         F(F)
To tell you the truth
(F)
As night falls
A quAelea crawls
                       Dm       F(F)
And whispers on his last wing
    (F)
"So abundant are we,
Left Aalone I shall be,
But a Dmwaited phone never Frings..."
[Chorus] 
DAre Ayou a Dpusher Emor Dare Ayou a Gpuller?
