Afinação: E A D G B ECapotraste: Sem capotraste
[Verse]
 
G
On the eve of your departure
Em G
I sat beside you on the kitchen floor
 
You said darkness has no virtue of its own
Em
It's only darkness
C
What is lost is lost
Am G
You were tired of metaphor
 
I once crawled along the ruins
Em G
Found you up above the timberline
 
Where the mountains stood before us like a bride
Em C
Narrow-eyed, the sun was honeycomb
Am G
It turned your white hair gold
 
[Chorus]
Em
I don't want your voice to move me
C
I don't want to be cracked open
G
I don't want the knot to loosen in my throat
 
To place a landmine down a rabbit hole
Em
I'm no pale-faced saint
C G
I'm like a dog always barking at a ghost
 
[Verse]
 
You know, I don't go easy
Em G
I've never made a myth of your disease
 
I hedged my bets with every soul I ever loved
Em
Except for one
C Am G
Honey, all I know of hope is throwing stones into the void
 
[Chorus]
Em
I don't want your voice to move me
C
I don't want to be cracked open
G
I don't want the broken headlight flicker
 
The bright pines, the silver sigh, the moon
Em
Behind you
C
When I find you
G
Driftwood bones, in fog and smoke
Em C
The pull of the yoke, a knotted oak, a joke
G Em
A hymn we only spoke and never sung
C G
Those of us born in loss, you know,
Em C
We only trust the light on the horizon
G
When I find you
Em
I don't want your voice to move me
