[Verse 1]
Em
I think I've gotten pretty good
G/F#
At watering this hollow wood
Cmaj7/G G6
Imagining a tree is gonna rise
Em
And missing is a funny thing,
G/F#
Collects itself in annual rings
Cmaj7/G G6
Believing well that time will make us wise
[Pre-chorus]
Em
But emerging from a fog revealed,
G/F#
I'm standing in a logging field
Cmaj7/G G6
and time just made me see what isn't there
Em
Is someone real if they're unclear?
G/F#
Can you be gone? You weren't here
Cmaj7/G G6
Am I allowed to grieve the empty air?
[Chorus]
G6/9 Cmaj9
And it's a skill I've come to question
G6/9 Cmaj9
It is a skill I don't wanna learn
A9sus4 Cmaj7/G
Building a future off a suggestion
G6 Cmaj7/G
Basing a life off of a word
G6 Cmaj7/G
Living a life off of a word.
[Verse 2]
Em
I'd say I felt it coming fast,
G/F#
but pains of now are always past
Cmaj7/G G6
and no one can predict the way things fall
Em
And missing is a boundless trap,
G/F#
you learn to love around a gap
Cmaj7/G G6
still pieces of you live there in the vault.
[Pre-chorus]
Em
But our bodies weren't built for grief,
G/F#
all primal screams and quick relief;
Cmaj7/G G6
we're built to chop the wood and start a fire
Em
And as I watch the branches catch
G/F#
what once was shade, becoming ash
Cmaj7/G G6
I wonder if I'm also on the pyre.
[Chorus]
G6/9 Cmaj9
And it's a fear I end up living
G6/9 Cmaj9
It is a fear I don't wanna earn
A9sus4 Cmaj7/G
You had to go, but I'm the one missing
G6 Cmaj7/G
You had to go, but I'm the one burned
G6 Cmaj7/G
I let you go, and I'm the one burned.
[Bridge]
A9sus4
Smoke always rises straight from the source
Cmaj9 G6
Nothing surprises me anymore
A9sus4
Smoke always latches on to my hair
Cmaj9 G6
We are just matches catching on air
[Chorus]
G6/9 Cmaj9
And there's a field, somewhere within me;
G6/9 Cmaj9
An open field where things used to grow
A9sus4 Cmaj7/G
Pain I can't take never quite kills me
G6 Cmaj7/G
It leaves a space, for what I don't know
G6 Cmaj7/G
It leaves a space, for what I don't know.
