Capo II
Em
There were nights and mornings
A
When you came to me
Em
Found your way into my bones my joints
A
Into my veins
Em A
Like an animal you coiled your darkness around me
Em A
You spelled your name in charcoal all over my body
G
But these days
Bm
I just walk with you
G
These days
Bm
I let you stay
Em
A little further away
A
But I walk with you
G
These days
Bm
I'll let you stay
(Em A)
There were summer days and nights
When i was blind to you
You were quiet and you were still
Even when the moon was full
My temporary state of lightness would scare me
After all i was sure
You were most wrong then i was daring
(G Bm)
But these days
I just walk with you
These days
I let you stay
These days
I just talk with you
These days
I let you stay
Em
A little further away
A
But I walk with you
G
These days
Bm
I let you stay
(Bm)
The things you've shown me over the years
The roads you blocked and how you'll define me
(G Bm)
These days
I just walk with you
These days
I let you stay
These days
I just talk with you
These days, these days
