Capo 4.
A -> E
If you are patient
Your heart is never spurned
There’s nothing left here
That hasn’t already been burned
E
You’ll find yourself without a bone
G
Breaking rocks along the road
A -> E
The sky is sprained with fire
The wheelchairs are plated gold
E
Strike and sing
G
You will breathe again
A
Strike and sing
E
You will be free again
E
But you’ll never get back your time
A girl has come to offer
Her harshest tone to you
With pale hair, white hands
she’ll do whatever it is you want to do
At night the sideways clock
Strike your love by the hour
A stranger broke all the gears
With his sturdy steel hammer
Strike and sing
You will breathe again
Strike and sing
You will be free again
But you’ll never get back your time
I didn’t mean to startle you
you have the fear of a bird
I didn’t mean to argue
I’m no good with big words
A river heaves over your back
And she pulls on your arms
And you follow her down
Into her sensual bonds
Strike and sing
You will breathe again
Strike and sing
You will be free again
But you’ll never get back your time
