If it were up to me to build this place
              E5                                F5
Well I'd have made the miles it takes a little shorter
            G5           C5
And I think I would tell the hills to lay to waste
    E5
And soak up all the Finger Lakes
   F5       G5
So I could straighten the lines
         F5                                  C5     G5
Yeah, so I could straighten the lines to anywhere.

             C5
And if I was told to know my place
             E5                                 F5
Well, I think I would choose a space closer to yours
            G5          C5
And I would use those lines I drew to get real close
   E5
A finger on my pulse because
  F5                G5
I think that it's strongest there
      F5               G5                        C5   G5
Yeah, I think that it's strongest there near you.


A5                           C5
'Cos I do not belong to the night
F5                      G5
Mystery or song or moonlight
                     F5                            A5
To be a far-begotten soul, I don't know what they do
                            G5                    C5
Don't know where such souls go, but I belong to you.

        C5
If the ground should start to break
         E5                                F5
Well, I think I would allocate more of my bones
             G5               C5
To keep our legs up and the tiny ones inside our hands
      E5
Would plant themselves in door frames and
 F5                G5
Each other or at least I hope
      F5            G5                       C5     G5
With each other, or at least I hope they would.


A5                           C5
'Cos I do not belong to the night
F5                      G5
Mystery or song or moonlight
                     F5                            A5
To be a far-begotten soul, I don't know what they do
                            G5                    C5
Don't know where such souls go, but I belong to you.


       C5
If any part of us should start to die
     E5                             F5
I'd dig a well and bleed it dry and wait there
              G5               C5
For something to breathe 'cos I believe or at least I try
      E5
That nothing is just born to die
        F5              G5
'Cos I think that we'd all just wait
        F5               G5                           C5    G5
Yeah, I think that we'd all just wait if that were true. 


A5                           C5
'Cos I do not belong to the night
F5                      G5
Mystery or song or moonlight
                     F5                            A5
To be a far-begotten soul, I don't know what they do
                            G5                    C5
Don't know where such souls go, but I belong to you.


             A5
I belong to you
            F5                   G5               C5
I belong to you so long as this world allows me to.
