C                   (Am)
Warm milk and honey sweeten my teeth

C
From little acorns you

            Am
You quietly made me

F            C
Made me into me


C                         (Am)
Paper thin skin stretched over my bones

C
From shells and pebbles you

            Am
You quietly made me

F         C
Made me a home

 
C               Am  F           C 
But I can't get used to being alone

C               Am  F           G
And I won't get used to being alone


C                
Under a full moon 

Am
Hopelessly trying to

C                              Am
Retrace our footsteps in the snow

F                    G
I don't know when to hang on

                C
And when to let go

[Recorder riff without last few notes: C C Am Am C C]


C                (Am)
Foxes in boxes and butterfly blues

C
From little acorns you

            Am
You quietly made me

F            C
Made me into you


C                   (Am)
Holding it under my tongue 'til it stings

C
From all of my demons

            Am
You quietly saved me

F         C
Again and again

     
C         Am  F               C
But now I feel them surface again

C         Am  F               G
Yes I can feel them surface again


C                  
From little bubbles

Am
Little air bubbles

C                Am
Little embolysms grow

F                    G
I don't know to hang on

F                       G
Everything I feel feels wrong

F                         G
I don't know when to hang on

                C
And when to let go
