Verse 1
Em             D        C 
The wings that made you fly, 
                 Bm           Em 
past the sun and through the snow, 
          D      C 
I took my summer knives, 
               Bm    Em 
and I cut them lying low. 
        D       C 
I never was prepared 
                 Bm       Em 
for this land of thousand laws, 
             D        C 
so show me a piece of air, 
              Bm       Em 
bring the sky onto the floor. 
D   C           Bm   Em 
Lie here, don't have fear, 
D    C                      B 
just feel, a voice breaking free. 
 
Chorus
            C 
I hold your hand, 
               D                     Em    D    C 
feels like I'm trusted to caress the Earth, 
   B         C 
oh my vision blurs, 
              D 
I choose this music, 
                         Em    D    C 
seeing life through your words. 
B           Am 
So tell the streets 
               B 
I'll keep your wings, 
                    Em 
as they are keeping me.

Verse 2
Em                D         C 
From the air they call your name, 
                 Bm       Em 
heart and coat become the same, 
             D      C 
to face this winter grace 
               Bm    Em 
of a smoke and lemon taste. 
                  D       C 
Well their orders come so thin, 
                 Bm      Em 
I could dodge'em from my swing, 
                D    C 
be your blue in everything 
                 Bm        Em 
if I can't still hide your wings. 
D   C                     Bm         Em 
Lie here, there's nothing you should fear, 
D    C                   B 
just feel the endless revealed. 
 
Chorus
             C 
You tear the veil, 
               D                        Em   D   C 
your eyes like raining truth beyond the art. 
B            C 
And cross my heart 
             D 
I'll do your bidding, 
          Em    D    C 
even to depart. 
B         Am 
Under the stairs 
             B                   C 
my chance to dare whoever may be there. 
 
Bridge
C                 D 
These boots on my neck, 
                  G     D B Em B 
this awful way to sing, 
C           D 
as ever I'm bare, 
                      G     D B Em B 
to give you back your wings. 
C 
They're smiling, 
Am           B       Em 
you start to rise so high.

Chorus
             C 
And though I know, 
           D                        Em     D    C 
they never gave me reins for winter skies, 
B           C 
I loved the lie, 
            D                     Em     D    C 
I left this music young and sacrificed, 
           Am 
to see the sun, 
            B                      Em 
you have to wake and step into the mud.
