Dm
The weight of my phone
       Dm
Like a tablet of stone
        G
Seems to grow with the words I just read
       Dm
And it silently falls
       Dm
From my hand to the floor
       Am                       G
With the wonders I wished I had said

[Verse]
          Dm
And for a time there is timelessness
Dm
Endless furore
       G
To the dark I said pour and forgot to say when
       Dm
And the words that you wrote
         Dm
Come back blacker than smoke
       G
I’m so sorry, I’ve done it again

[Interlude]
Dm G Dm G

[Verse]
     Dm
So I gather up the candlelight
Dm
Jangle the chimes
    G
And mop up what is left of my lungs
      Dm
And I climb up the ladder
      Dm
Had I taken more care
             Am                      G
I might have seen all the rot in the rungs

[Verse]
      Dm
And I pack what is needed
      Dm
For the journey to come
      G
All my books, all my bracken and booze
      Dm
And the door shuts behind me
      Dm
And I breathe in the air
        Am                   G
And say yeah, well I’m sorry too

[Refrain]
      Dm                           G
And I stare at the soldiers before me
      Dm                           Am
All my blossoms that have waited to fall
      Dm
And I walk
      Dm
And I walk
      Am
And I walk
      G
And I walk
        Dm
Knowing every last one of them is painted in light
     Am                              G
As I make myself acquainted with the saint of never getting it right

[Interlude]
Dm   F G
(Oh, oh)
Dm   F G
(Oh, oh)

[Chorus]
   Dm
My dress is on fire
      C
And I hurl myself, I heal myself
  G
I drag myself like a rug in the rain
       Dm
And my saint she is dancing
   C
As every step I choose to take
G
Begins to set the world aflame

Dm
And the soldiers march behind me
      C                    G
I can hear them beat their spears
            Dm
And for the first time in all my life
  C                  G
I know I’m more than what I fear

[Refrain]
      Dm
And I stare
      C
At the soldiers before me
      G                             Dm
All my blossoms that have waited to rise
      Dm
And I walk (I will walk)
      Dm
And I walk (I will walk)
      F
And I walk (with you)
      G
And I walk

      Dm
And I walk (I will walk)
      Dm
And I walk (I will walk)
      F
And I walk (with you)
      G
And I walk

      Dm
And I run (love run)
      Dm
And I run (love run)
      C                 G
And I scream out to the sky
      Dm
(Love run, love run)
    F             C                                Dm
You do not get to hurt me just because I asked you once
                  Dm     G      Dm    Gm
If you were alright

[Outro]
      Dm
And I look at the phone
      Dm
On the floor and I drink
        G
That nice wine you were saving, it's saving me now love
       Dm
And my soldiers sit by
       Dm
Like I’m newly baptised
       Am                      G
In the blossoms that fell from above
      Dm
And I pick up the phone
          Dm
Dial your number and wait
    C                         G
And shine like my petals once shone
    Dm
And just as it’s ringing
    Dm
I whisper aloud
      C
To my saint
       G
Oh we, we’re gonna get on

Dm  F G
(Oh, oh)
