🎸 Chord Voxtrot - Sway

Em
i can take a road takes a little longer

walk before the house where we had our games
Am C Em
suffering life , play , making , we discovered fire

Em
people like you made me so much stronger

people like you made me question blame
Am C Em
huddled in strength like birds on a sloping wire

hearing your voice makes me so uneasy
G
hearing your voice makes me question fame
Am C Em
money is deaf to the sound of a lover’s cry

Em
the language of loss made me so much older
G
the language of loss made me lose my grip
Am C Em
the language of loss made me silent as a newborn child

Em
’cause everything moves in a shifting cycle
G
the unison soars and the pressure dips
Am C Em
making our way steadfast in the skyward mile

building your house on the very street

you severed your mother’s life from your father’s land

we talked about peace and a little dream
Am C Em
marriage and love and divorce we don’t understand

and you know i have to sway my leaves and branches slowly
C G D
out in the sun , like the silent shout of youth
C/G D
and we ask why do we take these leaps and chances
C G D
because we have no choice but to wither into truth

all the vital signs were standing

when i dreamed you were with me

with the summer at my back

is what the living always lack
