Voxtrot – Sway chords

EmI can take a road  Takes a little longer
GWalk before the house where we had our games
Am                    C                     EmSuffering life, play, making, we discovered fire 

EmPeople like you made me so much stronger
GPeople like you made me question blame
Am                       C                  EmHuddled in strength like birds on a sloping wire

EmHearing your voice makes me so uneasy
GHearing your voice makes me question fame
Am                            C         EmMoney is deaf to the sound of a lover's cry

EmThe language of loss made me so much older
GThe language of loss made me lose my grip
Am                           C                   Em                   The language of loss made me silent as a newborn child

Em'cause everything moves in a shifting cycle
GThe unison soars and the pressure dips
Am                  C                   EmMaking our way steadfast in the skyward mile




EmAnd baby I know I will see you someday
GBuilding your house on the very street
Am                        C                       EmYou severed your mother's life from your father's land

EmFinish your home we can join them this way
GWe talked about peace and a little dream
Am                    C                EmMarriage and love and divorce we don't understand


            C/G        DAnd you know I have to sway my leaves and branches slowly 
C          G             DOut in the sun, like the silent shout of youth
           C/G       DAnd we ask why do we take these leaps and chances
        C          G             DBecause we have no choice but to wither into truth

      C                GAnd I dreamed you were there
        D    All the vital signs were standing
       C                     GWhen I dreamed you were with me
         DWith the summer at my back

      C                GAnd I dreamed you were there
     DSo complete and undemanding
        C             GWe know the love that gives
            DIs what the living always lack

            C/G        DAnd you know I have to sway my leaves and branches slowly
C          G             DOut in the sun, like the silent shout of youth
           C/G       DAnd we ask why do we take these leaps and chances
        C          G             DBecause we have no choice but to wither into truth
