[Intro]

[Verse]

Bbm Fm
No, Medusa was not always a gorgon
Bbm Fm
No, my witch isn’t always benevolent
Bbm Fm
She used me, an unwitting accomplice
Bbm Fm
On her weapon my fingerprints
Bbm Fm
How does this happen?
Bbm
How does this happen?
Fm
How does this happen?

[Chorus]

Gb Ebm Ab
For twenty nine years
Gb
I’ve been searching for you
Ebm Ab
Twenty nine years
Gb
You, a most elusive truth
Ebm Ab
These tattered bits of me
Gb
I’ve been piecing
Ebm Ab
For twenty nine years

[Interlude]

Bbm Fm
How does this happen?

How does this happen?
Fm
How does this happen?

[Verse 2]

Bbm Fm
So then, Athena wanted revenge
Bbm Fm
She let Poseidon get away with it
Bbm Fm
Just like my own witch almost did
Bbm Fm
Rock tied, ready to drown my marriage
Bbm Fm
How does this happen?
Bbm
How does this happen?
Fm
How does this happen?

[Chorus 2]

Gb Ebm Ab
For twenty nine years
Gb
I’ve been searching for you
Ebm Ab
Twenty nine years
Gb
You, a most elusive truth
Ebm Ab
These tattered bits of me
Gb
I’ve been piecing
Ebm Ab Bbm
For twenty nine years

[Bridge]

Fm
(How does this happen?)
Gb Ebm
Walk with me in your bare feet
Ab
In the sugar sand
Gb
Time to diffuse
Ebm
Bombs I planted
Ab
In our bed
Gb Ebm
We can heal with forgiveness
Ab
In the sugar sand my friend

[Chorus 3]

Gb Ebm Ab
For twenty nine years
Gb
I’ve been searching for you
Ebm Ab
Twenty nine years
Gb
You, a most elusive truth
Ebm Ab
These tattered bits of me
Gb
I’ve been piecing
Ebm Ab
For twenty nine years
Gb Ebm Ab
These victim tears
Gb
A song from my past
Ebm Ab
To twenty nine years
Gb
Yes, we are free at last
Ebm Ab
We can unleash
Gb
Ourselves from that mast
Ebm Ab
After twenty nine years
