CCCC
[Verse 1]
GDm
I saw you standing there, mono brow,
AmEm
long black hair, dance like Frida Kahlo.
CGDm
Your dance was so alone, so alone. When you shook your hips
AmEmG
the fire climbed up your spine and spread into your hair.
[Chorus]
CGDm
For as far as I can see we were carved from the same tree,
Em
two lonely refugees, trying hard just to get home.
[Verse 2]
CGDm
One husband and one wife, a place to hang one's life,
AmEmC
two kids to help us grow, in space we're not alone.
GDm
Four walls one lid one home, a box to call our own,
AmEm
some stuff to fill the place, five bins to remove the [Chorus] waste.
[Chorus]
CGDm
For as far as I can see we were carved from the same tree,
EmC
two lonely refugees, trying hard just to get home.
GDm
For as far as I can tell we were drawn from the same well,
EmG
the same visions, the same dreams, hoping for ecstasy.
[Interlude]
CGDmAmEm
[Verse 3]
CGDm
Set a mattress on the floor, put Chubb locks on the doors;
AmEmC
velvet curtains, dimmer lights, wooden floors and walls off-white.
GDm
Log on the fire, paintings on the walls, prints of stars and waterfalls;
AmEm
brand new set of global knives, photos of friends and family [Chorus] life.
[Chorus]
CGDm
For as far as I can see we were carved from the same tree,
Em
two lonely refugees, trying hard just to get home.
CGDm
For as far as I can tell we were rung from the same bell;
EmG
mix of minor major chords fall, full of hope and human flaws.
[Outro]
CGDm
Your dance was so alone, so alone, and when you shook your hips
AmEm
the fire climbed up your spine and spread into your hair.
DmAmEm
The fire climbed up your spine and spread into your hair.
DmAmEmC
The fire climbed up your spine and spread into your hair.
