[E] I sit by [C] my window [Bm] with everything [E] I've done
Doors [G] that I've opened and [C] webs that [E] I've spun
And the [C] candle beside [G] me [E] burns to the left
And the rain [D] on the clay [C] sends a lizard [E] to its nest
Will there be [C] a time [G] when I would [E] hold you again
With my arms [D] spread [E] out [C] from my chest
[E] You will rest and I'll write [C] you a letter
[Dm] With [Em] everything I know about the weight of the world
And the way things go
For some you are my [G] friend, [A] step back [E]
again
For some things [A] will be given, [G] for some you'll [F#] have to [Em] bend
You'll have to bend, my friend, to [A] hold on [E] to this
For some [A] things will come easy, [E] [G] and some will be a test
[E] You'll have to [C] bend
[D] [E]
[D] [C] [Em]
[G] [E] [C] [Bm] [E]
Now [D#] [D] [C#] [B] [E]
the [C] ocean connects me [Bm] to [Em] everything I know
By mellowing [Bm] my mind so [C] my heart [E] it can crawl
With these trees [C] as my witness, [Bm]
I'll [E] slice up some fruit
And each to [D] their [C] peaceful good intentions [E] and truth
There will be a [C] time [D] when I would [E] hold you again
With my [D] arms spread out, [E] [C] I will dive [E] right in
So now here [C] is your letter
[Bm] With [E] everything I know about the weight of the [Bm] world
And the way things go
[G] [E] For [G] some you are my friend, [E] step [A] back [E] again
For some things [A] will be [E] given, [G] for some you'll [Em] have to bend
You'll have to bend, [G] my friend, to [A] hold on [E] to this
For some things [A] will come easy, [G] and some [Em] will be a test
You'll have to [C] bend
