Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[Bm][D][Em][D][Bm][D][Em][D]

[Verse 1]
Do you see [Bm]rhythms in
the [D]ocean water when it [Em]reflects [D]the moon?[Bm]
If it hasn't [D]already happened to [Em]you,
it's gonna happen [D]soon
Do [Bm]the lines in your kitchen [D]table only
[Em]show you how [D]to drown?
[Bm]And your mother's angst the day [D]you were born,
[Em]the day you cut her [D]down

[Verse 2]
[D]You used to have me [Em]by the arm
You'd [D]walk me up the
[Em]darkest stairways
[D]Gone to hide, I'm way [Em]too far
I've [D]no idea [Em]where you are

[Verse 3]
Do [Bm]leaves fall down in per[D]fect sentences?
Do [Em]maggots crawl [D]your name?
[Bm]Do mirrors laugh at you
be[D]hind your back?
Are you [Em]con stantly [D]ashamed?
Do [Bm]rugs slither [D]between your feet
[Em]And chase you slowly [D]to the sea?
Do [Bm]tree branches bend
[D]down and ask [Em]you
If you're finally [D]ready?

[Verse 4]
[D]You used to have [Em]me by the arm
You'd [D]walk me up the darkest
[Em]stairways
[D]Gone to hide, I'm way [Em]too far
I've [D]no idea [Em]where you are

[Verse 5]
When [Em]you turn, when [D]you turn on [Am]me
[G]Will I see when you tur[Em]n,
when [D]you turn on [Am]me?
[G]Will I see when I tur[Em]n
around will you [D]be there
At [Am]the center of the world like
you prom[G]ised to be?
But you sud[Em]denly seem
like [D]a stranger
I can't [Am]tell anymore what
you want [G]from me

[Verse 6]
Does [Bm]your family think [D]you're too far gone?
Do you wonder if [Bm]they're right?
Are you different than you [D]used to be? Are
you [Em]alone somewhere [D]tonight?
Do you [Bm]think maybe you're just [D]a little afraid and
haven't [Em]really done the serious think[D]ing?[Bm]
Do I really need to hold your [D]hand and walk you all
[Em]the way up into the moon[D]light blinking?

[Verse 7]
[D]You used to have [Em]me by the arm
You'd [D]walk me up the darkest
[Em]stairways
You've [D]gone one to hide,
I'm way [Em]too far
[D]I've no idea [Em]where you are

[Verse 8]
When [Em]you turn, when you [D]turn on [Am]me
[G]Will I see when you turn,
[Em]when you t[D]urn on me?[Am]
[G]Will I see when I t[Em]urn
around will you [D]be there
At [Am]the center of the world
like you prom[Bm]ised to be?
[G]But when you sudden[Em]ly seem
like [D]a stranger
I can't [Am]tell anymore what you want
[G]from me

[Outro 1]
[Em][D][Am][G][Em][D][Am][G]
