Sway

Em i can take a road takes a little longer G 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 G people like you made me question blame Am C Em huddled in strength like birds on a sloping wire Em 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 Em and baby i know i will see you someday G building your house on the very street Am C Em you severed your mother’s life from your father’s land Em finish your home we can join them this way G we talked about peace and a little dream Am C Em marriage and love and divorce we don’t understand C/G D 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 C G and i dreamed you were there D all the vital signs were standing C G when i dreamed you were with me D with the summer at my back C G and i dreamed you were there D so complete and undemanding C G we know the love that gives D is what the living always lack C/G D 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
