Do you see rhythms in the ocean water when it reflects the moon?
Bm D Em Bm
If it hasn't already happened to you, it'€™s gonna happen soon
Bm D Em Bsus4 Bm
*
Do the lines in your kitchen table only show you how to drown?
Bm D Em Bm
And your mother's angst the day you were born, the day you cut her down
Pre-Chorus
Bm A Em
*
You used to have me by the arm
Bm A Em
*
You'd walk me up the darkest stairways
Bm A Em
*
Gone too high, I'€™m way too far
Bm A Em
*
I've no idea where you are
Verse 2
Bm D
Do leaves fall down in perfect sentences?
Em Bsus4 Bm
*
Do maggots crawl your name?
Bm D
Do mirrors laugh at you behind your back?
Em Bm
Are you constantly ashamed?
Bm D Em Bsus4 Bm
Do roots slither between your feet and chase you slowly to the sea?
Bm D Em Bm
Do tree branches bend down and ask you if you're finally ready?
Pre-Chorus
Bm A Em
*
You used to have me by the arm
Bm A Em
*
You'd walk me up the darkest stairways
Bm A Em
*
Gone too high, I'€™m way too far
Bm A Em
*
I've no idea where you are
Chorus
Bm D Am Em
When you turn, when you turn on me
Bm D Am Em
Will I see you when you turn, when you turn on me?
F#maj7 D
Will I see you? When I turn around will you be there?
Am Em
At the center of the world like you promised to be?
F#maj7 D
Will you suddenly seem like a stranger?
Am Em
I can't tell anymore what you want from me
Verse 3
Bm D
Does your family think you're too far gone?
Em Bsus4 Bm
*
Do you wonder if they'€™re right?
Bm D
Are you different than you used to be?
Em Bm
Are you alone somewhere tonight?
Bm D Em Bsus4 Bm
*
Do you think maybe you're just a little afraid and haven't really done the serious thinking?
Bm D Em Bm
Do I really need to hold your hand and walk you all the way up into the moonlight blinking?
Pre-Chorus
Bm A Em
*
You used to have me by the arm
Bm A Em
*
You'd walk me up the darkest stairways
Bm A Em
*
Gone too high, I'€™m way too far
Bm A Em
*
I've no idea where you are
Chorus

When you turn, when you turn on me

Will I see you? When I turn around will you be there?
Am Em
At the center of the world like you promised to be?
F#maj7 D
Will you suddenly seem like a stranger?
