Andrew Savage – Thawing Dawn chords

[Intro]
G#  B  E  C#7  B  G#  C#m

[Verse 1]
G#                         BNo one knows you quite the way that I do
E                     C#7No one owes me, not especially you
B                                      G#So find a river and deliver my remains to it soon
         C#mThis I request of you

[Verse 2]
G#                    BSaid a person that I knew from my sleep
E                      C#7"Savage, I'm free, but I ain't cheap"
B                                              G#The thing you ache with has a function, either beat it or bleed
             C#mWhat could I say to them

[Verse 3]
G#                    BMan on fire, and he's heading for Throop
E                        C#7Watched him burning as I sat on my stoop
B                                       G#A couple seconds felt like hours 'til I finally moved
            C#mTo beat the flames from him

[Verse 4]
G#                  BMost religion is as far from faith
E                      C#7As the sun is from the shadows it shapes
B                                    G#Well I can hardly say for certain if I'm trapped or escaped
           C#mWhen I'm away from you

[Verse 5]
G#                        BWhen the summer draws the bugs in the house
E                             C#7And an acquaintance takes the form of a spouse
B                                         G#I need you wildly, as the bluejay needs a tune it can sing
         C#mInto the afternoon

[Interlude]
D                     ALike my mother she reminds
D                      AWith the ashes on her head
E                       D                              ADancing drunkly to the radio as she welcomes back the dead

G#  B  E  C#7  B  G#  C#m

[Verse 6]
G#                   BTwenty hours and I'm twelve in the hole
E                               C#7With thoughts of lightning as a beautiful doll
B                                           G#Across the island they are floating slow in luminous bulbs
         C#mInviting me to cross

[Verse 7]
G#                       BStarted drinking to meet strangers and folks
E                         C#7Who'd listen to me, who'd nod when I spoke
B                                       G#But these days when I'm thirsty I don't mind staying home
         C#mDrinking away the blues

[Verse 8]
G#                      BStarted smoking to keep up with my friends
E                                     C#7I learned to love the feeling when I'm breathing it in
B                                          G#But I'm a lonely lighthouse shining by the sea on a cliff
            C#mDragging in solitude

[Outro]
D                         AOf all the pieces I've combined
D                          AStill the cruelest mixture yet
E                      DIs the softness of a thawing dawn
                       AAnd the hardness of regret
