[Verse 1]
Cmaj7 Bm
I feel like a landscape painting
Cmaj7 Em D
Exposed and revealing
Cmaj7 Bm
I feel like the sea redeemed
Cmaj7 Em D
To be seen and not seen
Cmaj7 Bm
I feel like an unnamed mountain
Cmaj7 Em D
Unclimbed and forgotten
Cmaj7
When I was very young and new
Bm
The sea unsung in all it's blue
Cmaj7
Now I have left it all behind
Em D
The shores of which no longer mine
Cmaj7 Bm Cmaj7 Em D
Cmaj7 Bm Cmaj7 Em D
[Verse 2]
Cmaj7 Bm
I feel like an untouched canvas
Cmaj7 Em D
Unused by the masses
Cmaj7
But I want to be clean
Bm
A means to ends with no means
Cmaj7 Em D
The rope has frayed apart like stitches ripped across the scar
Cmaj7
But this life is a charm
Bm
And painted bright so I am waiting
Cmaj7 Em D
Confused and parading
Cmaj7
But I am pulling through
Bm
In uncertainty by Pink and Blue
Cmaj7
I know that I am learning
Em D
The wheels are slowly turning
[Chorus 1]
Cmaj7 Am D Em
Cmaj7 Bm Am
Cmaj7 Am D Em
When I was an ocean did I sing blue?
Cmaj7 Bm Am
And when I was a river, what bodies did I pass through?
Cmaj7 Am
Or was there something in the waves
D Em
That set me in direction?;
Am9
I sang
Em
[Verse 3]

I feel like a big fish in a bigger ocean
Em
I feel like the sea cracked open

I seem like a nice place to stop to picnic on your summer road trip
Am9
I sit as the untouched landscape
[Bridge]

Ignited minds will not be burned alive
Bm Cmaj7 D
River winds, saying Winter Has Arrived

[Chorus 2]
Cmaj7 Bm D Em
When I was an ocean did I sing blue?
Cmaj7 Bm Am
And when I was a river, what mountains carved a path into the ground where other rivers
ran though?
Cmaj7 Bm
Or was there something in the waves
D Em
That set me in direction?;
Am
I Sang
