Fm When you were young G# You'd bite your tongue D# A# Calm, always did what you were told Fm Never ran your mouth G# Lived life on tiptoes D# A# Only felt peace if by yourself C# When mistakes don't count Fm D# There's a hole in your chest C# From the time that you were born One that don't get filled Fm D# 'cause you've always known you're nothin' they want Chorus: Fm A# C# But everybody's bones are just holy branches D# Fm Cast from trees to cut patterns into the world A# C# And in time we find some shelter D# C# Spill our leaves and then sleep in the Earth C# And when we're there we'll belong D# Fm 'cause the Earth don't give a damn if you're lost Now I live alone Work in the belly of machines Wring my soot-black hands And I don't sleep much Days don't feel different From the nights With no goals in mind There's a hole in my chest From the time I walked away One I fill with sweat So now I know I'm nothing they want Chorus: But everybody's bones are just holy branches Ride the breeze to cut patterns in the leaves And in time we find some shelter Spill our seeds and then wait for our turns But for now we're adrift on the waves of discontent Trying to carve our place All in hopes we'll be something they want But I ain't holding my breath Trace your fingers down my spine Make your home behind my eyes Line my skull with harmless lies I'll bide my time until I'm something they want | TransposeReset Font sizeReset Ukulele Chord DiagramsA# C# D# Fm G# Here you can see detailed diagrams for each ukulele chord used in the song.
