If it were up to me to build this place
              E7                                F
Well I'd have made the miles it takes a little shorter
            G           C
And I think I would tell the hills to lay to waste
    E7
And soak up all the Finger Lakes
   F       G
So I could straighten the lines
         F                                  C     G
Yeah, so I could straighten the lines to anywhere.

             C
And if I was told to know my place
             E7                                 F
Well, I think I would choose a space closer to yours
            G          C
And I would use those lines I drew to get real close
   E7
A finger on my pulse because
  F                G
I think that it's strongest there
      F               G                        C   G
Yeah, I think that it's strongest there near you.


Am                           C
'Cos I do not belong to the night
F                      G
Mystery or song or moonlight
                     F                            Am
To be a far-begotten soul, I don't know what they do
                            G                    C
Don't know where such souls go, but I belong to you.

        C
If the ground should start to break
         E7                                F
Well, I think I would allocate more of my bones
             G               C
To keep our legs up and the tiny ones inside our hands
      E7
Would plant themselves in door frames and
 F                G
Each other or at least I hope
      F            G                       C     G
With each other, or at least I hope they would.


Am                           C
'Cos I do not belong to the night
F                      G
Mystery or song or moonlight
                     F                            Am
To be a far-begotten soul, I don't know what they do
                            G                    C
Don't know where such souls go, but I belong to you.


       C
If any part of us should start to die
     E7                             F
I'd dig a well and bleed it dry and wait there
              G               C
For something to breathe 'cos I believe or at least I try
      E7
That nothing is just born to die
        F              G
'Cos I think that we'd all just wait
        F               G                           C    G
Yeah, I think that we'd all just wait if that were true. 


Am                           C
'Cos I do not belong to the night
F                      G
Mystery or song or moonlight
                     F                            Am
To be a far-begotten soul, I don't know what they do
                            G                    C
Don't know where such souls go, but I belong to you.


             Am
I belong to you
            F                   G               C
I belong to you so long as this world allows me to.
