Key: Em
Intro (fingerpicked):
Am Cm (x3)
C7 B7
Am G Bm
I found you in a park
C Bm Em
In a well-lit city summer
Am G Bm
I heard your heart speed up
C Bm B7
Like an infant full of wonder
Em Em G Bm (x2)
Am G Bm
I will be my lake
C Bm Em
And you will be your ocean
Am G Bm
I'll hide in the Midwest
C Bm B7
Far from your perpetual motion

C7 B7
Our waters can never mix
Em F#m G
I'm any port in a storm
C Bm G
Or any cliche in writer's block
Em F#m G
The opinions that you form
C Bm Em
You make me up when you talk
C Em
It's me, your terra cotta
G B7
A brittle pot ready to fall
C Em
But you won't see me nowhere
G B7
That is, until you
C Em
Call me terra cotta
G B7
A baked heart to overflow
C Em
But you won't see me nowhere
G B7 Em Em G Bm
That is, until you go
Em Em G Bm
You go
C7 B7
Am G Bm
I'll be your well-worn jeans
C Bm Em
We both know that you love me
Am G Bm
But when you go outside
C Bm B7
You throw a skirt above me
Em Em G Bm (x2)
Am G Bm
I see your silhouette
C Bm Em
Cracking on a storefront window
Am G Bm
But this town's not for you
C Bm B7
It's the kind of dirty only I know
Em Em G Bm (x2)
C7 B7
We're sediments caked in place
Em F#m G
I'm any bird in the hand
C Bm G
Or any cliche in writer's block
Em F#m G
Like every soldier man
C Bm Em
You'll seal me under a rock
C Em
It's me, your terra cotta
G B7
A brittle pot ready to fall
C Em
But you won't see me nowhere
G B7
That is, until you
C Em
Call me terra cotta
G B7
A baked heart to overflow
C Em
But you won't see me nowhere
G B7 Em Em G Bm
That is, until you go
Em Em G Bm
