E
I want something
D                     C#m
That's purer than the water
     E
Like we were
E
It's not there now
D                C#m
In eloquence and anger
    E
Are all we have

Like Saturn's rings
An icy loop around me
Too hard to hold
Lash out first
At all the things we don't like
Or understand

Chorus:
                      C#m
And it's beginning to get to me
                          B
That I know more of the stars and sea
                    A
Than I do of what's in your head
                    E
Barely touching in our cold bed
                     C#m
Are you beginning to get get my point
                             B
They're always fighting with aching joints
                        A
It's doing nothing but tire us out
                        E
No one knows what this fight's about

The answer phone
The lonely sound of your voice
Frozen in time
I only need
The compass that you gave me
To guide me on

It's so thrillin' but also wrong
Don't have to prove that you are so strong
'Cause I can carry you on my back
After our enemies attack

I tried to tell you before I left
But I was screamin' under my breath
You are the only thing that makes sense
Just ignore all this present tense

    E                  A
We need to feel breathless with love
     B                      A
And not collapse under its weight
     E              A
I'm gasping for the air to fill
    B                          A
My lungs with everything I've lost

We need to feel breathless with love
And not collapse under its weight
I'm gasping for the air to fill
My lungs with everything I've lost
