I haven�t put all of the chords over the first letter of the word
because many of the words are sung slightly before the chord. I hope
this makes sense. I put brackets around chords where the song stays on
the same chord through two measures, but doesn�t emphasize it the
second time. Any suggestions, especially lyrical, are welcome. There
are a few extras at the bottom.
C D G C C D G [G]
C D
Balancing on, one wounded wing
G C
So clean me up, shove the never ending
C D G [G]
The best of the vampish marbles are gathered inside your door
C D
More than begin, but less than forget
G C
What spirit born from the not happened yet
C D G [G]
Gathering there to pay off a debt from back from the wars
C D G C
We thought we lost you We thought we lost you
C D G [G]
We thought we lost you Welcome back
C D G [G]
C D
Sleeping for years through what is left
G C
Through the pieces that fell and rose from the depth
C D G [G]
From the ring water well deep as a secret nobody knows
C D
Less than forget but more than begun
G C
These adventures in solitude never done
C D G [G]
To the names of our wounds we send the same blood back from the wars
C D G C
We thought we lost you We thought we lost you
C D G [G]
We thought we lost you It will all come back
C D G C C D G [G]
(I can�t tell what�s being sung in this next part, so until I can find
some lyrics, I�m just going to put the chords and some timing. I put
a guess at the lyrics in the extra notes. 4 beats to a measure.
Note Em and D only get half a measure.)
1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4
Bm Em D C G x3
Bm Em D C C
C D G C
C D G [G]
Repeat all that
Extra notes:
If you play the piano, I think the verses use C 2nd inversion,
D 2nd inversion, and G 1st inversion. Start with middle C in the
middle and it should fall into place.
Someone�s quietly plucking a guitar in the intro and
first verse (that I can hear), and here�s what s/he�s playing.
C D G C (or [G] second time)

Here�s my wild guess for the lyrics on the last part. Chords I don�t mind,
but I hate figuring out lyrics.
Bm Em D
I know you want to... wait for, wait for,
C G
and now it�s come at a bad time
Bm Em D C
some cold lays, some countless ways
C G
For all we know
Bm Em D
I know you need to breathe through my mouth, come to
C G
but it�s come at a bad time
Bm Em D
Some how a fly in the tangle of days
C G
For all we know
