Intro:

C Em Am G F

As good as I could possibly imagine my life getting, it did

After I met you

F G

The way you reached inside my chest and pulled out things and sent them off

in breaths blew

C Em Am G F

And as good as it got with all the layers peeling off, and though I writhed

I could not upset you

F G

With your hand down my throat you held on to my heart and pumped blood

through

C Em Am G F

And then “it’s time to go” you said, “it’s time to go out

You little gray goose

F G Am

Get out from under my wing” you said “go on you swan you turn loose”

C Em

Oh so “it’s over”

Am G

Oh so “we died

Oh so “your hand on my heart pumping blood went limp” and oh, I fly

Oh swan inside.
