Intro: 
Em D Em C
Em D A C

      Em          D
I was lost in the lakes
	A		 C
And the shapes that your body makes
	  Em			D
That your body makes, that your body makes
	  A		C
That your body makes

D C D C

    Em			   D
The mountains said I could find you here
     A				C
They whispered the snow and the leaves in my ear
   Em               D
I traced my finger along your trails
     A         	        C
Your body was the map, I was lost in it
G		   D
Floating over your rocky spine
    A			   C	      D
The glaciers made you, and now you�re mine
G		   D
Floating over your rocky spine
    A			   C	      D
The glaciers made you, and now you�re mine

      Em                 D
I was moving across your frozen veneer
    A		     C
The sky was dark but you were clear
Em		  D
Could you feel my footsteps
	      A		                   C
And would you shatter, would you shatter, would you

D C D C

	      Em	     D
And with your soft fingers between my claws
     A       C
Like purity against resolve
	Em				   D
I could tell, then and there, that we were formed from the clay
    A				C
And came from the rocks for the earth to display
     Em		   D
They told me to be careful up there
	  A         		C
Where the wind blows a venomous rage through your hair
     Em		   D
They told me to be careful up there
	  A			  C
Where the wind rages through your hair
