[Verse 1]
Ab                  Absus4
Salem burns the leaves
Absus4
Then she
                    Ab
Returns to cure and see
          Gb
Heavy fate
               Db/F
After years of waiting
[Pre-Chorus]
Ab                  Db/Ab
'Cause abnormalities
      Db/Ab
Surely
                   Ab
Are everywhere you see
                   Bbm
So what I think we need
           Fm  Eb
Is elasticity,   empowerment and ease
[Chorus]
           Ab
So I won't lead no lie
         Db                  Fm
With our hearts the only matter why
Bbm                 Fm
How long it's lasted
             Eb            Db         Ab
I've not received reciprocity
[Verse 2]
Ab               Absus4
To speak supportively
Absus4
Big guy
                      Ab
There's no automatic peace
                Gb
But I bet you'd keep
             Db/F                   Ab
All these in-betweens that bar my youth
[Pre-Chorus]
Ab                        Db/Ab
There's no anorberic dream
             Db
Far as I know
                       Ab
I tried too hard to see
                      Bbm
What I thought it’d be
                 Fm
Asking constantly
                  Eb
How's it gonna be?
[Chorus]
             Ab
So I'm gonna weep a while
          Db
You don't even know how hard
Bbm         Fm
I learned a lesson
          Eb
Don't ask me, I've
                         Db
Torn the banner from the line
[Outro]
Ab  Db  Ab
