[A] A defector from [E] these petty wars That shall shock [B] love away
This comfort and melancholy When [A] there's no need [E] to explain
It's just as [A] natural [E] as the weather [B] In this moody sky today
In our possessive coupling [E] So much [B] cannot be expressed
So now I am returning to myself [F#] These things that [E] you and [F#] I suppressed
[G#] I [E]
see something of myself in [B] everyone [E] Right [B] at this moment of the world
The snow [F#] gathers [B] like bolts of [F#] lace [B]
[E] Waltzing on a bride of [B] girls
[C#m] [G#] [C#] [G#m] You [A] [D]
[B] know it never has been easy Whether [E] you do or you do not resign
[A] Whether you travel [B] a bread of [E] extremities [B] Or you stick to some straighter line
Look, [C#]
[F#] here's a man and a woman sitting on a rock [B]
[F#m] They're either gonna [E] thaw or freeze
[F#m] Listen, sounds like many [E] good men Float [F#m] up to the [B] snowy trees
I'm [F#] porous with travel [G#] fear [A#]
[B] But I'm so glad to be on my [E] own
Still, [B] the slightest touch of a [E] stranger [F#] Sets up a trembling in [G#] my bones
[F#] But I [F#m] know, [E] no one's gonna show me everything We [F#] [B] come and go unknown
[F#] Each so deep and so superficial Between [E] the forceps and the snow
[G#m] I
[C#m] [G#m] looked [D] [A]
[D] [A] [B] at the granite markers [F#m] Those tributes to [E] finality, to eternity
[Bm] [F#m] Then I looked at [E] myself here Chickens scratching for a [B] piece of immortality
In the church they light the candles [D] And the wax rolls down [E] like tears
[B] There is the hope and the hopelessness I've witnessed all these years
We're [E] only particles of change, I know [B] We're just orbiting around the sun
[F#] [B] But how can I have that point of view
[F#] When I'm bound and [C#m] tied to [B] someone
[F#] When [B] [E] flags from winter chimneys Waving truth against the moon
[B] In the mirrors [F#] of a modern bank From the window [G#m] of my [E] hotel room
[C#m]
[G#m] [D]
[B] Oh, I'm driving in some vehicle I'm [F#] sitting in some [E] cafe
A [F#m] defector from [E] the petty wars [B] Until love sucks me back [G#m] that way
