[Intro]
A7 | A7 | Em7 | Em7 |
[Verse 1]
A7 Em7
Mountain time wasn't on my mind that morning
A7 Em7
I shot out of bed, you were curled in a ball
A7 Em7
The sun was a dim strip of amber across
A7
The edge of the Earth and the black oily blue of the sky
Em7
I heard your voice ask why
(A7)
As I wiped the glass dry
[Instrumental]
A7 | A7 | Em7 | Em7 |
[Verse 2]
A7 Em7
Well, she mostly draws bulls these days, that's what I'd say
A7 Em7
If ever anyone asked about you
A7 Em7
I'd say it used to be horses, before that, it was trucks
A7 Em7
I'd say next, it's container ships docking below
A V-shape of ducks
[Chorus]
A7
But you always belong to yourself
Em7
Even when you're not you
[Verse 3]
A7 Em7
Every time I try escaping, I lose
A7 Em7
If you were a unit of time, what would you be called?
A7 Em7
Everything that's ever happened, or could happen
(A7)
Tied up like yarn in a ball
[Instrumental]
A7 | A7 | Em7 | Em7 |
[Verse 4]
A7 Em7
Somewhere young lovers sneak out secretly
A7 Em7
Somewhere a ball wrecks a jail to the ground
A7 Em7
But nowhere's like this and nothin' else is as perfect
A7 Em7
That's the end of this bar after you've just sat down
[Verse 5]
A7 Em7
Well, I live off paychecks much like you kind folks
A7 Em7
Who paid just to hear several songs about fire
A7 Em7
And I've hit hard times, but I'll still make it work
A7 Em7
I'm not one of those jerks who just talk about themselves
They're often liars
[Chorus]
A7
But you always belong to yourself
Em7
Even when you're no one
[Verse 6]
A7 Em7
You might wear a disguise, but you'll never outrun
A7 Em7
If we were a unit of mass, what would we float above?
A7
The night and its sound, and the rate that it travels
Em7
And the way it unravels as silence
[Outro]
A7
Perched like a bird on a glove
Em7
Dried up like bones in the sand
A7
Bleeding like trees in October
Em7
Bare as the palm of your hand
A7
Sweet as an hour going backwards
Em7
Louder than the wind between planets
A7
Tied up like yarn in a ball
