verse 1
A
With the conviction of the woman you made me,
I find
A
Blades of grass from the island you lent me,
I find
E D
On every floor, in every drawer
A
Though I'm not an island, I'm a body of water
A
Jeweled in the evening, a solitary daughter
E D
If picked at by noon, by midnight I'm ruined
[Refrão]
Bm A
Leave me alone to the books and the radio snow
E A
Leave me alone to the charcoal and the dancing shadow

If each blade of grass was meant here for me
A
Split apart, sliced, and wedged in for me

Who's gonna treat it? I'm not going to need it
[Refrão]

Leave me alone to the books and the radio snow
E A
Leave me alone to the charcoal and the dancing shadow

I am a lake, I don't need to be watered

I am an ocean, I don't need to barter
Interlude
E
I play with the moon, my only friend
A
It pushes it pulls me, I don't pay rent
Asus
I don't need the walls to bury my grave
A
I don't need your company to feel saved
E
I don't need the sunlight, my curtains don't draw
A
I don't need objects to keep or to pawn
Asus
I don't want your pity, concern, or your scorn
A
I'm calm by my lonesome, I feel right at home
E
And when the wind blows I get to dancing
A
My fun is the rhythm of air when it's prancing
-repeat-
