We were sitting round a Edying fire, 
somebody lit Asus2incense
somebody lit a cigareB7tte
and passed the bottle EaroundB7  
It was just strawberry sEeason,
backbreaking pickers in the Asus2patches
everything's burning down to aB7shes and 
down to the grEoundB7

I was born with a Ehole in my heart
The sizF#me of my land locked traB7vels
[Verse]
I try to put it aEside 
but it's too much bigAsus2ger than me 
there's a big brown haB7wk in the tree
Lighting and lEeavingB7  
There's tea leaves tEossing, 
heads up pennies in my pAsus2ocket, 
dead star like a roB7cket, 
the arc of my grEievingB7

[Intro]

E Asus2 B7 E B7

[Verse]

We were sitting round a dying fire,

Asus2

somebody lit incense

somebody lit a cigarette

E B7

and passed the bottle around

It was just strawberry season,

Asus2

backbreaking pickers in the patches

everything's burning down to ashes and

E B7

down to the ground

[Chorus]

C#m7 F# Bsus B A

She's saving me I don't even think she knows it

E G#7sus G#7 C#m7 C#7sus A

It's a strange way to show it as distant as last night's dream unravels

G#7 C#m7 F# Bsus2 B A

She's saving me I'm a very lost soul

I was born with a hole in my heart

F#m B7

The size of my land locked travels

[Verse]

I try to put it aside

Asus2

but it's too much bigger than me

there's a big brown hawk in the tree

E B7

Lighting and leaving

There's tea leaves tossing,

Asus2

heads up pennies in my pocket,

dead star like a rocket,

E B7

the arc of my grieving

[Chorus]

C#m7 F# Bsus B A

She's saving me I don't even think she knows it

E G#7sus G#7 C#m7 C#7sus A

It's a strange way to show it as distant as last night's dream unravels

G#7 C#m7 F# Bsus2 B A

She's saving me I'm a very lost soul

I was born with a hole in my heart

F#m B7

The size of my land locked travels

[Bridge]

A F#

The sky pours out biblical rain

B Asus2

Then days so still the beauty gives you pain

G#7sus G#7 C#m B E

The heatwave kills the green and she remains unseen

Asus2 Asus2/F# B7

But colors up my dream with all things blooming

[Verse]

E Asus2 B7

This is not all there is it's not a kingdom it's not an angry god

E B7

It feels like her

E Asus2 B7

It feels like no fear, it feels like no doubt, it feels like inside out

E B7

The ashes stir

[Chorus]

C#m7 F# Bsus B A

She's saving me I don't even think she knows it

E G#7sus G#7 C#m7 C#7sus A

It's a strange way to show it as distant as last night's dream unravels

G#7 C#m7 F# Bsus2 B A

She's saving me I'm a very lost soul

I was born with a hole in my heart

F#m B7

The size of my land locked travels
