[Intro]
| A7sus4/D Em11/D | A7sus4/D Em11/D | A7sus2/B B7sus4 |
[Verse 1]
A7sus2/B
B7sus4 A7sus4/D Em11/D
I could never build the ether
A7sus4/D Em11/D
Or the grass overgrown
A7sus2/B B7sus4
I could never build the river
A7sus2/B B7sus4
With a mouthful of foam
B7sus4/E
I could never build the winter
Emadd11/A
With her cold tears of glitter
A7sus4/D Em11/D
Iâve been listening to the red oak
A7sus4/D Em11/D
And the acorn she cries
A7sus2/B B7sus4
Listening to the white birch
A7sus2/B B7sus4
And the paper she dries
Emadd11
Iâve been listening to the frogâs joke
Emadd11/A
Listening to the firesmoke
[Chorus]
A7sus4/D Em11/D
I can never tell you now
A7sus4/D Em11/D
What Iâd often said before
A7sus2/B B7sus4
Because promise is a pendulum
A7sus2/B B7sus4
Just swinging at the door
Emadd11 B7sus4/E
And Iâm not saying Iâm not jealous
Emadd11 B7sus4/E
Or scared anymore
Emadd11/A Emadd9/A
Iâm just saying
[Verse 2]
Emadd11/A
Emadd9/A A7sus4/D Em11/D
I could never build a rainbow
A7sus4/D Em11/D
Or any kind of flower
A7sus2/B B7sus4
I could never make a sparrow
A7sus2/B B7sus4
Or a meteor shower
B7sus4/E
I could never build an earthworm
Emadd11/A
Could never make the earth turn
A7sus4/D Em11/D
Iâve been listening to the laughing
A7sus4/D Em11/D
Of the fox down the trail
A7sus2/B B7sus4
Iâve been clasping to the listening
A7sus2/B B7sus4
Of the moss to the snail
Emadd11
The shimmer of the beech leaves
Emadd11/A
As the wind does a big sneeze
[Chorus]
A7sus4/D Em11/D
I can never tell you now
A7sus4/D Em11/D
What Iâd often said before
A7sus2/B B7sus4
Because promise is a pendulum
A7sus2/B B7sus4
Just swinging at the door
Emadd11 B7sus4/E
And Iâm not saying Iâm not jealous
Emadd11
Or scared anymore
Emadd11/A Emadd9/A
Iâm just saying
[Verse 3]
Emadd11/A
Emadd9/A A7sus4/D Em11/D
I could never build the shadow
A7sus4/D Em11/D
Between your cheek and your eye
A7sus2/B B7sus4
I could never make a freckle
A7sus2/B B7sus4
Or the warm breath you sigh
B7sus4/E
In the canopy of lashes
Emadd11/A
With the softness of ashes
A7sus4/D Em11/D
Iâve been listening to the memory
A7sus4/D Em11/D
The way that it was
A7sus2/B B7sus4 A7sus2/B B7sus4
Listening to the echo of whys and because
Emadd11
Listening to the echo
Emadd11/A
Telling me to let go
[Chorus]
A7sus4/D Em11/D
I could never tell you now
A7sus4/D Em11/D
What Iâd often said before
A7sus2/B B7sus4
Because promise is a pendulum
A7sus2/B B7sus4
Just hanging at the door
Emadd11 B7sus4/E
And Iâm not saying Iâm not jealous
Emadd11 B7sus4/E
Or scared anymore
Emadd11/A Emadd9/A
Iâm just saying
[Outro]
