Capo: 1st fret
[Verse 1]
G F
You’re a long damn way from North Carolina now
Am7
What a goddamn victory, I guess
G F
Swimmin’ it up like assholes at Sinalei
Am7
The way my ancestors did
G F
And if they found me face down and dead in the chuck
Am7
At least they’d know that I loved you this much
G F
And was happy I caved upon your insistence
Am7
‘Cause now it all means something
G Am7 F C
You and me,
G F C
in this ageless thing
[Chorus]
G F
And it takes and it takes
Am7 G
And it moves and he makes us of one mind
F Am7
And he takes and he takes
[Verse 2]
G F
And I wish I could make it so you could see yourself
Am7
Just seeing everything
G F Am7
Whatever it’s called out there in the firmament
G Am7 F C G F
A screed, a view in an endless feed
C G Am7 F C
Of disquiet I never knew I had, I guess
G F
But I am full to the head with unsayable things
C
That I don’t want to forget
[Chorus]
G F
And it takes and it takes
Am7 G
And it moves and he makes us of one mind
F C
And he takes and he takes
G F
And it takes and it takes
Am7 G
And it moves and he makes us of one mind
F C
And he takes and he takes
[Verse 3]
C Am7
Tenterhooks, ‘cause the gods know that I am tender prey
G
And heaven knows that if they balled me away
F
Would I reach your love again?
C Am7
Flawless paradise and I am raised up in a sky blue sky
G
In a bad deed with no good alibis
F
Will I see your love again? Will I feel your love again?
[Interlude]
G F C [x4]
[Chorus]
G F
And it takes and it takes
Am7 G
And he moves and he makes us of one mind
F C
And he takes and he takes, oh
G F
And it takes and it takes
Am7 G
And he moves and he makes us of one mind
G F C
And he takes and he takes, ooh
[Outro]
G
I was born and survived by some cold inner space
F Am7
‘Til you called out and told me I belonged in this place
G
And when my body was splayed in a miracle mile
F C
“Let ‘em catch me and kill me, let them take me in style”
G
You’re the only one, the only one
F Am7
That I know in some way I’ll be thinking of
G F
When I’ve made my bed and I’ve paid my dues
C
At least you’ll know that I loved you
