[Verse]
C G
I take flight on borrowed time
Am Em
I was once terrified of heights
Am Em G
I say a prayer, I look down and I'm ready to die
C G
If you cross over tonight
Am Em
You see beyond the darkest sky
Am Em G
You taste the blood as something wild and alive
F G
You might light up in a flash
C Am
You won't hold onto a flame
F G C Am
It's a squalid way to live but it's the rules of the game
F G
It ain't your fault it's just a shame
Dm G C
To fall without aim
G Am Em Am Em G
C G
I walk down east seventh street
Am Em
A wistful, wild de-pravity
Am Em G
Iconoclastic, black and white, dusty and sweet
C G
I tell this story every time
Am Em
Real love don't follow a straight line
Am Em G
It breaks your neck, it builds you a delicate shrine
F G
You might mourn all that you wasted
C Am
That's just part of the haul
F G Em Am
Tangling up all your good fortune, bearing the heart of the fall
F G
You won't break it after all
C G
Look at us, man and bride
D
And a grinding sound
C G D
Faithful to a life underground
C G D
And when the picture fades the years will make us calm
C G D
I'll sing a song at your fune - ral
C G D
Laid in the Mississippi gu - lf
C G D
Or back home at Waxahatchee creek
C G D
You know you got a friend in me
C G D
I'm an angler married to the sea
C G D C G D
