[Verse 1]
B D#m
I will protect your shadow
B D#m
Even though when it's dark, it slips
B D#m7
I'll clean your window
E
Make you look out and see scenery
B D#m
'Cause I am a stranger
B D#m
Shouldn't talk to myself
B
In times of rearrangement
E
Or even in good mental health
[Chorus 1]
F# B
And on the other side
D#m E
Soon they'll side
F# B
With their family who hides
D#m E
From all the evil within their own bloodline
F# B
But you fly a different kite
D#m E F#
Hovering over their heads so high
B
Ooh ooh
[Instrumental]
D#m
B D#m
B D#m7
E
[Verse 2]
B D#m B
And I will tie your lasso
D#m B
Can't you make a knot slip?
D#m E
I'll ask your ghost
If he can remember me
B D#m B
'Cause I am a creature
D#m B
Of mixed up energies
D#m E
In times of restraint
Living in captivity
[Chorus 2]
F# B
And on the other side
D#m E
More mountains slide
F# B
Away from their fault lines
D#m E
And taper into new shorelines
F# B
Sliding down the timeline
D#m E
Pulling the nerves up through your spine
F# B
Veering off to the side
D#m E
Sometimes when you lose sight of that line
F# B
Guided by the same light
D#m E F#
Holding all of our heads up so high
E F#
B*
