Tom: A
Bm E
A long time ago
A D
When the world was still cooling
Bm E
An angel of God
A D
Ran away from her high home
Bm E
Collapse and rebuild
A D
How the world recreates you
Bm E
In fits and in starts
A D
Through loss life is born
Bm E
Down in the streets
A D
That she moves in and out of
Bm E
Comfortably close
A D
How the wind blows right through her
[Pre-Chorus]
Bm E
When night, settles in
A D
She would look out her window
Bm E
A sky, full of signs
A D
She would trace by her hand
[Chorus]
Bm E
You may think you owe a debt
A D
But no one is holding it
Bm E
Called you bastard call you child
A D
I'm sorry, I am sorry
Bm E
Born at the break of the world's first dawn
A D
Darkest songs passed through your tongue
Bm E
You will see a glorious day
A D
I'm sorry, I am sorry
[Instrumental]
Bm E A D x2
[Verse 2]
Bm E
A long time ago
A D
While the ocean was forming
Bm E
She skulked the Earth
A D
Lonely in displacement
Bm E
Memories of home
A D
Tangled up and recurring
Bm E
When left to them self
A D
Reckless hearts lash about
Bm E
Wingless and broke
A D
She placed a scar across the dessert
Bm E
Bitter and cold
A D
She put a flame to her history
[Pre-Chorus]
Bm E
When night settled in
A D
She would look out her window
Bm E
A sky, full of signs
A D
She would trace by her hand
(listen)
[Chorus]
Bm E
You may think you owe a debt
A D
But no one is holding it
Bm E
Called you bastard call you child
A D
I'm sorry, I am sorry
Bm E
Born at the break of the world's first dawn
A D
Darkest songs passed through your tongue
Bm E
You will see a glorious day
A D
I'm sorry, I am sorry
[Bridge]
Bm E
Memory moves in concentric circles
A D
Growing as her time moves forward
Bm E
Through the ages, her past grows larger
A D
Taking her over always in circles
Bm E
Dance of time, violence of life
A D
It splashes in her deep lake mind
Bm E
Absorbing pain and expanding it further
A D
Always in circles,concentric circles
