[Intro]

C C/B F

[Verse 1]

C C/B

Covered in gold, forgetting my skin

I recall you, and I recall when

C C/B

Pulling your shirt up over your head

Laughing, gets stuck, gets stuck in bed

[Chorus]

Am G

All that I do is a shadow of you

And the light you make

Am G F

I'm turning my face away from the shade

Am G

Swaying on cue, I'll be mimicking you

And the way you shake

Am G F

You're a difficult love, I'm a narrow escape

[Verse 2]

C C/B

Pulling my clothes, none of which fit

Bringing back us meeting as kids

Covered up red, I figured out fame

I'll honor your death by making my name

[Chorus]

Am G

With all of my guilt and the way that I'm built

I don't sleep so well

Am G F

With all of that hope, the end of a rope

Am G

Swinging on cue, I'll be mimicking you

And the way you felt

Am G F

When I know what you know, it's an easy let-go

[Interlude]

You're a difficult love, I'm a narrow escape

You're a difficult love, I'm a narrow escape

Covered in gold, forgetting my skin
