[Verse 1]

  Am             F

I swear I wasn’t trying

              C                 G

But I can’t unsee what I’ve seen

          Am          F               C                    G

Something beautiful, alone inside the spinning and the grief

                   C

And I ached for you

           G             C                   G

I just had to pull it apart, the halfhearted seams

    Am            F                    C           G

I remember how my hands went numb from possibility

 

F          G                   C

I passed myself like a gushing vine

           Dm                    F

So full of heat, so full of pride

              G         C

I learned to bury my excess

            Dm

And all the awful sadness

    F                G

And then I saw the cracks

               C

Your eyes went black

         Dm                  F

I had to touch what you held back

         G                   C

I have seen how the sun gets in

         E

I had to tear it open

 

 

[Chorus]

     Am        C            G            F

They say Jacob wept when he saw Rachel’s face

E      Am           C             G

And he worked seven years for her love

       F          E

Oh, he waited and waited

   Am                C                 G          F

So break a glass for all the past that never goes away

  E          Am

I have been remade

C               G          F5 E5

[Verse 2]

Am               F

I’m not much for magic

         C                    G

But it’s really just the truth

  Am               F

I never sought out fate at all

    C              G                 Am

But now it’s just another word for you

                  F

And I am strange, slate to lace

C                          G

Changed, I am made for this

     Am           F                    C         G

I remember how my hands went numb from tenderness

 

F            G                     C

They say sometimes when two lights shine

                  Dm                  F

They reach out to heaven and they join

            G                        C         Dm

And then in moments the gates would open up as wide as time

    F                    G             C

And we will drink the sky, drink the wine

           Dm              F

Surrounded by the trumpet vines

        G         C E

We will drink the sky

 

 

[Chorus]

     Am        C            G            F

They say Jacob wept when he saw Rachel’s face

E      Am           C             G

And he worked seven years for her love

       F          E

Oh, he waited and waited

   Am                C                 G          F

So break a glass for all the past that never goes away

  E          Am

I have been remade

C               G          F5 E5

[Verse 3]

F           G               C

And on that night I had a dream

           Dm               F

That you reached inside of me

              G         C         Dm          F

And in the sky I was bleeding for everyone to see

                G

You kissed each of my ribs

   C                  Dm        F

My God, you seemed to inventory me

           G                C

And all undone, just as I was

              E            Am

You said ‘I’m keeping everything’

 

 

[Chorus]

      C            G            F

Jacob wept when he saw Rachel’s face

E      Am           C             G

And he worked seven years for her love

                         F          E

He waited and waited and waited and waited

   Am                C                 G          F

So break a glass for all the past that never goes away

  E          Am

I have been remade

C               G          F5 E5 Am
