[C]
[G]
[F] Noises in my head and endless [Am] should have strain
[C] On me like a storm, like [G] a cane
[F] Losses piled up like wood stacked [Am] stories
high Feels [C] like I've been framed, I've [G] no alibi
Used to [F] be that all I needed was what I didn't [C] possess
[G] Yearning [F]
makes you who you end up [C] as, more or less
[G]
Whatever [F] choice I made that worked out was [Am] just a lucky guess
[C] Just a lucky guess
[G]
[F]
Ventures half discarded, half [Am] held on to now
Like [C]
dancing on a ledge to [G] the edge somehow
Well I [F] can still pick out the faces though I [Am] forget the names
And [C] places that are gone, but the [G] urge remains
Do you throw [F] caution to the wind or is it to the [C] stars?
[G] To hold [F] out my open hands despite my [C] empty heart
To [G]
wear my [F] heart on my sleeve just like [Am] a pramoscope
[C]
Is a pramoscope
[G]

[C]
[G] There's
[F] comfort in a late night kitchen's [Am] radio
And in [C] a letter sent, lists of [G] what you know
When [C] you [F] don't know anything you [Am] make another one
It's good to [C]
write it down, [G] starting with the sun
[C]
[F] Sometimes church bells, trees, and seasons marking [C] times gone [G] by
Sometimes [F] starling swells and [C] tidal moons and filled up eyes
[G] Sometimes [F]
everything at once, but [Am] sometimes just the sky
[C]
Sometimes just the sky
