The Deepest Sighs, The Frankest Shadows Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[C][C][F][F]
[Am][G][F][F]

[Verse 1]
There’s a [C]sky full of lights
And none of [F]them stars
But each white, [Am]silvery flicker's
A [G]faithful [F]reminder to us
Of a [C]weight that's in youth
That makes a dick of us [F]all
If it [Am]happened today
Then it's [G]probably happened [F]before

[Verse 2]
In a [C]crowd unfamiliar
I just wanna touch a fa[F]miliar face
And make [Am]friends at the parties I've [G]feared
The likes of an [F]age
To be [C]wanted with truth
And make formidable [F]love
See [Am]light in myself
That I [G]see inside everyone [F]else I know

[Interlude 1]
[C][C][F][F]
[Am][G][F][F]

[Verse 3]
It's not a [C]lacking of spine
Nor of physical [F]pulse
It's just a [Am]feeling of distance
A[G]kin to a [F]feeling of loss
Of [C]love in the youth
Of my limited [F]life
That [Am]passed in a violent
And [G]ritual screwing in[F]side

[Verse 4]
And the [C]years unfamiliar
Are made of increasingly [F]digital days
And I am [Am]grieving the loss of my[G]self
With frightening ma[F]laise
When there's [C]weightless in youth
And the sum of [F]it's small
Just [Am]stand in the darkness
And [G]laugh with your heel on [F]its throat

[Chorus 1]
[C]'Cause not eve[Am] rything
means [F]something, [C]honey
Just [F]say the unsayable
[Am]Say the most human of [C]things
And if [F]everything is [Am]tem porary
[C]I will bea[Am]r the unbearable
[F]Terrible [G]triteness [C]of being
Alone in [F]my house
Frozen [Am]in ti[G]me
But don't get me [F]wrong now, honey

[Interlude 2]
I am trying
[C][C][F][F]
[Am][G][F][F]

[Verse 5]
There’s a [C]warmth in the eyes
And a clearness of [F]thought
When the [Am]deepest of sighs
And the [G]frankest of [F]shadows are gone
We're [C]pushing a stone
Up a mountainous [F]waste
And the [Am]lines at the store
Look like [G]lines on a beautiful [F]face

[Verse 6]
See, I'm [C]not so assured
Nor unusually strong
Or [F]outstandingly brave
I'm more just [Am]fumbling around in the [G]dark
For the bulk of my [F]day
When there's [C]weight that's in youth
And the sum of [F]it's small
I will [Am]stand in the darkness
And [G]laugh with my heel on [F]its throat

[Chorus 2]
[C]And not eve[Am] rything
means [F]something, [C]honey
[F]Say the unsayable
[Am]Say the most human of [C]things
And if [F]everything is [Am]tem porary
[C]I will bea[Am]r the unbearable
[F]Terrible [G]triteness [C]of being
Alone in [F]my house
Frozen [Am]a way[G]
But don't get me [F]wrong now, honey

[Interlude 3]
I'm okay
[C][C][F][F]
[Am][G][F][F]

[Bridge 1]
Ah, [C]cast me a line
Ah honey, [F]cast me a line
Won't you [Am]fear me tonight?
God[G]damn, do you fear me [F]tonight?
Ah, [C]pass me a light
Ah honey, [F]pass me a light
Won't you [Am]feel me tonight?
God[G]damn, do you feel me to[F]night?

[Outro 1]
[C]'Cause not eve[Am] rything
means [F]something, [C]honey
Just [F]say the unsayable
[Am]Say the most human of [C]things
If [F]everything is [Am]tem porary
[C]I will bea[Am]r the unbearable
[F]Terrible triteness of [C]being
