Josh Ritter - Potters Wheel
Tabbed by: http://www.andreasvockrodt.de
[Intro]
G G/B C D
[Verse]
G G/B C D
I close my eyes, and it all returns like the spinning of a potter's wheel
G G/B
Trying to stay ahead of morning as time came running with us
C D
And she beat us to the finish as we ran through the fields
G G/B
You were born in the city, and I didn't recognize you
C D
Your beauty unexpected like a flower in the concrete
G G/B
Some gods far below in worlds undiscovered
C D
Set you up to ruin temples to find me on the streets, yeah
[Interlude]
G G/B C D
[Verse 2]
G G/B
I'm an alias of who I am a counterfeited fake
C D
In the picture I am kneeling like a dying saint Jerome
G G/B
Hurling rocks at the demons who tried to come too near
C D
'Till you came in and possessed me now I feel at home
G G/B
I remember the time I walked for seven hours
C D
And thought about the people I had known for so long
G G/B
All the castles I had built out of fine and precious sand
C D
'Till you came in like the tide now I don't care that they are gone
[Interlude]
G G/B C D
[Verse 3]
G G/B
As we floated up the river I translated the verses
C D
That were written on memorials to the ships that had sank
G G/B
And I thought about the people that traded sinking for uncertainty
C D
And drowned because of loneliness before they reached the banks
G G/B
On a beach near Barcelona the young girls cry for Mary
C D
And they bury earthen vessels in the rocks by the sea
G G/B
I am sending out a bottle with a prayer upon the waves
C D
That you'll find inside my picture, and your memory will unfold me
[Interlude]
G G/B C D
[Verse 4]
G G/B
We were talking about a trip that I had taken to the canyons
C D
And you told me of a river that had cut through time
G G/B
Leaving only the pictures of long dead sons and daughters
C D
And you told that the paintings looked a lot like mine
G G/B
I try and watch myself to see what I am saying
C D
But my heart is on my collar, and I'm asking you to take it
G G/B
I don't want to go back to the way things were before
C D
Before the dawn turns into morning I want you there to break it
[Interlude]
G G/B C D
G G/B C D
[Verse 5]
G G/B
And a thousand years from now when our names are just a memory
C D
And poets have recorded what happened in the past
G G/B
Lovers loving in the night will find our forms in constellations
C D
Seekers seeking for salvation will find our stories in the stained glass
G G/B
A boy in the city who has never seen the morning
C D
As he's running arm in arm with you through the fields
G G/B
Will be caught unexpected by a flower in the concrete
C D
It will all return again just like a potter's wheel
[Outro]
G G/B C D
G G/B C D
G G/B C D
G G/B C D C G
