Tom: Am
Intro:
Em Cmaj7
E|---0------0-----|
B|---8------8-----|
G|---9------0-----|
D|---9------10----|
A|---7------7-----|
E|---0------0-----|
The first three chords of the verses descend down the fretboard like so:
Em Am G
E|---0------0------3---|
B|---8------x------3---|
G|---9------5------4---|
D|---9------7------5---|
A|---7------7------5---|
E|---0------0------3---|
The regular inversions of these chords will suffice, however.
Em Am
I like the way you survive
G Em
Just keep blowing at that pretty blue flame that’s burning you alive
F
It’s time
Am Em
It’s just time
|| This chord progression continues for all of the subsequent verses ||
The shifting shorelines hidden hands
Might show you one black feathered wing sticking up from the sand
But you’ll still fly
You’ll still fly
So take a camera from the pile
And if it speaks less than a thousand words yeah if it tells a lie
You’re right
You’re always right
Before new day arrives
We’ll leave our buried shoeboxes, our capsules filled with time
And come alive
We’ll come to life
Em Cmaj7
Ooh.
