VERSE 1

C               C               F                F

My youth is sunk in furrowed bark

G               G               F                C

My brow reflects its glowing spark

C               C               F                F

From places known in odysseys

G               G               F                C

That tree revealed its’ mysteries

VERSE 2

C               C               F                F

A monument that testifies

G               G               F                C

Our legend through impartial eyes

C               C               F                F

Where worship danced around its base

G               G               F                C

Now lifeless towers take its place

CHORUS

Am                             Am                             C

But I wanted you to let me in

Show me everything, all your hiding

From cradle grew this constant source

Of life survival hand in hand

VERSE 1

D                                 Bm

Hanging from the ground

It draws the city to its’ chin

A breed of power lines the grey

As each new crane holds time to wait

Sprouting in sporadic tufts

An open arm that orbits earth

Oak trees sulk with jealous stoops

F#m                           G               Gm

Redundant of their ancient rule

High, how high they grow

High, how high they grow

As they command the reigning skies

F#m                           G               Gm

The mighty cranes impose their will

We scurry through our daily troughs

Too fast to see our citys’ drop

A                                 D

Tuck your hands in now it’s blowing hail,

A                                 D

Chin up high don’t be so frail,

A                                 D

Suck a breath in and just draw it out,

Bm                             E

Beam a grin to wash away the pout

VERSE 2

A                                 D

I always seem to hold a heaviness,

A                                 D

Today was just another weary sight,

Bm                             E

But somehow I know it’ll be alright

A                                 D

I’m all too private about each defeat,

A                                 D

I don’t need goals to feel complete,

A                                 D

I don’t believe I’m here to win the race,

Bm                             E

But there’s comfort in an easy pace

CHORUS
