Tom: F
Bb C Dm Am
[Verse 1]
Bb C
The second you offered me a ride
Dm Am
I couldn't get the thought out of my mind
Bb C
Promises open when they're pried
Dm Am
Up with the vapor of a week of sighs
Bb C
The cards say "A change is coming near
Dm Am
And as a nestling on the bough
Bb C
The fool is the martyr of the now"
[Chorus]
Bb C G7sus2
Izzit true what they tell me?
Bb C Dm
Izzit true what they tell me?
F Bb C G7sus2
Izzit true what they tell me?
Bb C Dm F
Izzit true what they tell me?
[Verse 2]
Bb C
Inviting you in a second time
Dm Am
How your possessions were lighter than mine
Bb C
And how we talked all through the night
Dm Am
As if I'd have known you all of my life
Bb C
Touching your finger to my eye
Dm Am
How you prove the card was right
Bb C
That said you'd be all I have in sight
[Chorus]
Bb C G7sus2
Izzit true what they tell me?
Bb C Dm
Izzit true what they tell me?
F Bb C G7sus2
Izzit true what they tell me?
Bb C Dm F
Izzit true what they tell me?
[Bridge 1]
Bb C Dm
Ay, is the lesson cast asunder
Oh, and you can't even know
Am
What kind of lack that you're leaving
Bb C Dm
Ay, want a rented bed of sorrow
Am
Oh in the lake and the forest
Go to hell, I adore you
Bb C Dm
Ay, ever-righteous call of thunder
Am
Oh, I don't know what to call it
But I know that you feel it
Bb C Dm
Ay, ever-wretched call of wonder
Am
With no regrets...
Bb C
Now I receive you on the day
Dm Am
I hide and seek you on the hour
(In time)
Bb C
In odysseys of no and yes
Dm
Even now, as a witness...
Am Bb
And even now...
[Verse 3]
C Dm
Am I a finch, am I the cage?
Am Bb
Oh, either way I couldn't care
C Dm
If you could see inside my head
Am Bb
Where every clock is stopped by you
C Dm
Like in some silent threat
Am Bb
Like I'm the one that should be careful
C Dm
Though it never could've happened without you
Am Bb
No, it never could have happened without you...
[Bridge 2]
Bb C
Budding interrupted
Dm Am
In glory of their matching
Bb C
Winding up the rope
Dm Am
Together and alone
Bb C
Tell me a story
Dm Am
Leaving out the ending
Bb C
I don't want to know
Dm Am
Whose heart was made to roam
[Chorus]
Bb C G7sus2
Izzit true what they tell me?
Bb C Dm
Izzit true what they tell me?
F Bb C G7sus2
Izzit true what they tell me?
Bb C Dm F
Izzit true what they tell me?
