[Intro]
C# B F#
C#
[Verse 1]
C# B
I've learned how not to miss the age of tenderness
F# C#
That I am so lucky to have seen once
C# B
And now that I've become older I've learned how to brush over
F# C#
My history and how it's sequenced
C# B
When I think about you I see a person who
F# C#
Hasn't existed for a long time
C# B
Before you started using, before I starting choosing
F# C#
To do the same thing for the same reasons
C# B
The first name I called you is not a name at all
F# C#
More of a duty than a function
C# B
Often an execution, often with deep confusion of
F# C#
"Who was I when that name was just mine?"
[Instrumental Break]
C# B F#
C#
[Verse 2]
C# B
Like a serpent charmer negotiating harm
F# C#
I live with a basket of your silence
C# B
And as the years record I can feel it growing bored
F# C#
But I keep the top on in the meantime
C# B
When I pass my reflection there isn't any question of
F# C#
Where the person in it came from
C# B
When I catch myself thinking and hear the voice that speaks inside
F# C#
I know where I got my brain from
[Bridge]
A C# G#
Every step I've strayed from and followed
F# C# G#
Led me to the same location
A C# G#
Every act I've forsake and borrowed
F# C#
A delivery to now
F# C# A B F#
And I've never wondered how I came to
[Ending]
C# B F# C#
Be, I feel free like you promised I'd be
C# B F# C#
Free, I feel free like you promised I'd be
C# B F# C#
Free, I feel free like you promised I'd be
C# B F# C#
Free, I feel free like you promised I'd be
A B F#
