Halfway Home
Great song, sounds good put to acoustic chords. Chords for the verses and chorus stay
same throughout song but it's nice to play along to the words.
B
The lazy way they turned your head
E
Into a rest stop for the dead
B E
And did it all in gold and blue and grey
B
The efforts to allay your dread,
E
In spite of all you knew and said,
B E
Were hard to see and harder still to say
B
A comfort plush all laced in lead
E
Was sent to quell your sentiment
B E
And keep your trembling sentinel hand at bay
B
And when a sudden silhouette
E
Escaped the top-side of your bed
B E
I knew you'd never ever be the same
F#m
Is it not me?
C#m
Am I not folded by your touch?
F#m
The words you spoke
E
I know too much
B
It's over now
F#
And not enough
F#m
Is it not me?
C#m
The damage you hold inside your blush?
F#m
The load you towed
E
You showed it up
B
It's over now
F#
And I'm insane
B
Wild spirits winds from out your chest
E
Collides with world and wilderness
B E
It needs a gentle hand to call it home
B
Now surfs the sun and scales the moon
E
And winds the waistband of her womb
B E
All eyes ablaze the day you break your mold
F#m
Is it not me?
C#m
Am I not culled into your clutch?
F#m
The words you spoke
E
I know too much
B
We're closer now
F#
And said enough
F#m
Is it not me?
C#m
Am I not rolled into your crush?
F#m
The road you chose
E
Unloads control
B
See it take me so
Go on throw this stone
Into this halfway home
