This is a very simple and beautiful song. Listen to the track to get the picking
rhythm and just remember to accentuate the bass line.- Scott Melendez
Intro: C
C Em Am G F
As good as I could possibly imagine my life getting, it did
Em
After I met you
F G
The way you reached inside my chest and pulled out things and sent them off
Am
in breaths blew
C Em Am G F
And as good as it got with all the layers peeling off, and though I writhed
Em
I could not upset you
F G
With your hand down my throat you held on to my heart and pumped blood
Am
through
C Em Am G F
And then “it’s time to go” you said, “it’s time to go out
Em
You little gray goose
F G Am
Get out from under my wing” you said “go on you swan you turn loose”
C Em
Oh so “it’s over”
Am G
Oh so “we died
F Em F G Am
Oh so “your hand on my heart pumping blood went limp” and oh, I fly
G
Oh swan inside.
Outro: C, Em, Am, G, F
