Andrew Savage – Winter In The South chords

[Intro]
A

[Verse 1]
AWhen we'll blow the torch
GSummon me onto your porch
      C                  A'Til into your parlor again
How can you still smile?
GThere you are, it's been awhile
C                          ABack to the town where you live
Can I speak to you?
GLike I've always wanted to
C                    AWith every eye on my face
Where you find my words
GWiggle snakes out of the earth
C                      AOmens and our not of place

[Chorus 1]
      C            AI'm a screen porch flyer
     C        AI am drying-   flowers
      C         A              G            F            DI'm a postcard read, filed and fed to it's place in the drawer...

[Verse 2]
A  Winter in the south
GAutumn from a northern mouth
C                            AActs like the cruelest month lived
When I last was here
GHappy to return my dear
C                          ATalk for a while and let's sit
Ample was the floor
GSleeping in the clothes we wore
C                          AThat night we called it a bed
With no fear of shame
   GThe less I could a common name
C                        AFelt out the lie between us

[Chorus 2]
      C       AI'm a bowing-  eye
      C        AI'm a pilgrim-  south
      C        A            G          F             DI'm a toy you both speaking slow as it sentenced the end

[Verse 3]
AYou dreamt that I died
GMy face on another side
C                                AStretched like the string on the door
Feel my pulse and tap
GBleach my blood mantras and
C                       AClaim every ounce of it yours
Two weeks on the land
GNow I'm back at home again
C                         ANowhere to rhyme but the tape
Often goes the sound
GOf a hearts uncertain hound
C                         AClinging the bars of it's tape

[Chorus 3]
      C      AI'm a hotel shower
      C       AI'm a tempted- snake
      C        A           G           F            DI'm a distant howl making sound as it dreeps on the floor

[Horn Solo]

[Verse 4]
ATalented with words
GAm I more than pretty verse?
C                       ARead by a voice in your head
Am I on your mind?
GAfter all this kindling cried
C                       ABuilding around like a sand
Now I hold the torch
GNow the amputation's yours
C                      AGlowing on fire like a cake
I'll be thirty-one
GNext month and I only want
C                   AYou by my side as I wake

[Chorus 4]
     C        AI am no wrong turn
       C        AIs there such a- thing?
           C     A           G           F          DThere are only turns that we take at one time, it's okay
