And she filled me like her voice filled the room.

                                  G (320003@1)   G*
She was gone before I drank confident.

    Am (x02210@1)             DBut (xx0232@1)Georgia, can you hear me?
          Am (x02210@1)                 G (320003@1)    G*
I've been crawling through the trees.
            Am (x02210@1)                FThrough (133211@1)the pines, through the pines.
                        G (320003@1)           CWon't (x32010@1)you whisper, that you remember me.

                                           G (320003@1)   G*
If I caught her, I don't know what I would say.
      C (x32010@1)                  C/B (x2555x@1)           C (x32010@1)               FCause (133211@1)love don't haunt the tavern it's not drunk on the balcony.
                                     G (320003@1)   G*
It don't spill out at 2AM into the street.

    Am (x02210@1)             FBut (133211@1)Georgia, can you hear me?
          Am (x02210@1)                 G (320003@1)    G*
I've been crawling through the trees.
            Am (x02210@1)                FThrough (133211@1)the pines, through the pines.

        AmI (x02210@1)was a leash with no dog like a track with no train
       GWell (320003@1)I hung by my hood let the wind have its way
       F (133211@1)                                   EmI (022000@1)was lifeless, useless, as a corpse with no grave.
      AmAn (x02210@1)ascetic, with no pillar or pain
        GI (320003@1)was a, a shedded hair on a dead mare's mane
             F (133211@1)                                    EmAnd (022000@1)from her fingers I dangled and danced along the stage.
       AmWell (x02210@1)I caught her when I was taut in the yarn
      GAnd (320003@1)I yanked with all the strength in my arm
        F (133211@1)                                  EmAnd (022000@1)she tumbled from the rafters and fell to me
So hard, to my arms.

    Am (x02210@1)             F*
But Georgia, can you hear me?
           C (x32010@1)              G (320003@1)  G*
I've been calling across the sea.
            Am (x02210@1)               F*
Through the waves to your breakwater.
                       G (320003@1)          CWon't (x32010@1)you whisper that you remember me.

          C (x32010@1)         C/B (x2555x@1)     C (x32010@1)          FWhen (133211@1)they seal you in oak throw dirt on your face
                                    G (320003@1)   G*
May a soft bark sapling sprout from thee.
         C (x32010@1)           C/B (x2555x@1)          C (x32010@1)        FMay (133211@1)your bones turn to wool. May your heart be a nest.
                       G (320003@1)            CAnd (x32010@1)warm the world the way you warmed me.
