Afinação: E A D G B ETecla: CCapotraste: Sem capotraste Music and Lyrics by Phil Elverum. Tab by Cameron Kisiel. [Verse 1] Bm I drove up to the city at night G And found the place where you grew up Bm And then where you stayed G And then we walked around and stayed up late Bm Under city lights; and I spent the night G Next to you in the house where you grew up Bm Next to you I miraculously woke up G In your parents' house I lied in bed with you [Chorus] Bm G I went back to feel alone there Bm G I went back to wipe it clean Bm G I took the lights and radio towers out of my dreams [Verse 2] Bm And we went all the way up to the small town G Bm Where I'm from; with foggy air and the wind and the mountain tops G And we clung to rocks and we looked off Bm You held my hand, you almost got to start feeling me G I finally felt like I was breathing free Bm G And under swaying trees we fell asleep and had the same dream Bm The stars were bright, we dream the same every night G On my island home I spent some time with you [Chorus] Bm G I went back to feel alone there Bm G I went back there by myself Bm G And gave up on everything that we'd felt [Verse 3] D We found a precious place in the sand G Right out in the wind, and we lied under a blanket D And heard the furious sound The roar of waves, the pounding surf G Two bodies on the earth D G It was intense just getting to be there next to you D And you were trying to get me then G And I was happy to let you in [Chorus] Bm G I went back and wished I hadn't Bm G I went back and felt regret Bm G I went to the beach and I stared west [Verse 4] Bm Every night when the sun went down G In the town where we live, the empty streets were lit up Bm By reflective light from a distant sun G Bouncing off a glowing ball of rock Bm We just lied on the roof and watched G The moon, the moon, the blue light of the moon Bm G We didn't talk and silently we both felt powerful Bm G Like the moon my chest was full Bm Because we both knew we're just floating in the same space G Bm Over molten rock, and we felt safe and discovered that our skin is soft G There's nothing left except certain death Bm G And that was comforting at night out under the moon [Chorus] Bm G I went out last night to forget that Bm G I went out and stared it down Bm G But the moon just stared back at me Bm G And in its light I saw my two feet on the ground
