Intro: Gm F C7 Eb   x2


      Gm          F
I was lost in the lakes
        C7              Eb
And the shape that your body makes
          Gm
That your body makes,
          F
That your body makes,
          C7             Eb
That your body makes.


Interlude: F Eb F Eb


        Gm                     F
And the mountains said I could find you here
     C7                       Eb           
They whisper the snow and the leaves in my ear
  Gm                F
I traced my finger along your trails
     C7
Your body was the map
      Eb      F
I was lost in there


Bb                 F
Floating over your rocky spine
    C7                    Eb         F
The glaciers made you and now you're mine
Bb                 F
Floating over your rocky spine
    C7                    Eb         F
The glaciers made you and now you're mine


Interlude: Gm F C7 Eb   x2


      Gm                 F
I was moving across your frozen veneer
    C7                Eb
The sky was dark, but you were clear
Gm                F
Could you feel my footsteps?
              C7
And would you shatter, would you shatter?
           Eb
Would you?


Interlude: Gm F C7 Eb   x2


(strum once each for the first two lines, then go back to normal)

     Gm             F
Your soft fingers between my claws
     C7      Eb
Like purity against resolve
        Gm                           F
I could tell then there that we were formed from the clay
    C7                      Eb          F
And came from the rocks for earth to display


     Bb            F
They told me to be careful up there
          C7                    Eb                F
Where the wind blows a venomous rage through your hair
     Bb            F
They told me to be careful up there
          C7                      Eb     F
Where the wind rages through your hair


Ending: Gm F C7 Eb   x2
End on Eb
