[Cm][G][Cm][G][Cm][G][Cm][G]

[Verse 1]
[Cm]Born
underwater in a [G]month of fire
[Cm]Born into hawthorn and tangl[G]ed briar
[Cm]A wild card from a hungr[G]y pack
A [Cm]number on the front,
a pat[G]tern on the back

[Verse 2]
[Cm]Dirt in the furrows, patie[G]nt and thick[Cm]
Time curls at [G]the turn of a pick
[Cm]And life gathers in the [G]wake of the plow
[Cm]The line offers what the field[G] will allow

[Verse 3]
[Am]The root system stares down[G]
[Am]Shoots defy and point up[G][Am]
Unreeling in an [G]act of spite

[Verse 4]
Oh [Dm]I had a feeling that they mig[Em]ht
[Am]I had a feeling th[Em]at they might
[Dm]

Unreeling in an [G]act of spite

[Verse 6]
Oh [Dm]I had a feeling tha[G]t they mig[Em]ht
[Am]I had a feeling th[Em]at
they might
[Dm]

[Verse 7]
[Cm]Arms like axes at a [G]great expense
[Cm]Hymns in the pastures,
and [G]pen[Gm]itence[G]
[Cm]The sweet glove on the
[G]agrarian [Cm]hand
Carving prayers into a [G]chaotic land

[Verse 8]
[Am]The root system stares down[G]
[Am]Shoots defy and point up[G][Am]
Unreeling in an [G]act of spite

[Verse 9]
Oh [Dm]I had a feeling that they mig[Em]ht
