C G Am Em
You came back dark quiet, near broke and half wild With storms in your eyes and that look in your smile
F C Dm G
As if you'd seen plenty but still weren't done With your own self destruction , still tempting the sun
G C G Am Em
And me, I had nearly made peace with the dark Those long anxious evenings, the old faded spark
F C Dm G
But you came back slowly and the whole thing gave way Not healed in a minute, just less gone each day

youve been found - slowly ,just slowly Like watching a flower breaking out of the ground

Like a fire catching slow when the kindling is damp Like a room coming round through the lick of a lamp
F Em C G
You see love's not a softy it's tough at the seams And it kept showing up to ruin your worst schemes
Am Em F C
It asked for a chair while trembling with dread at the sound Of the carnage

like an out of tune song going round in my head

I thought you were lost but now maybe somehow youve been found -
