This is tablature — fret positions rather than chord names. Wide lines scroll sideways on their own, so the page never does.

Chorus

Bm 799777

A 577655

G 355433

D 200232

I thought I felt your shape but I was wrong

Really all I felt was falsely strong

I held on tight and closed my eyes

It was dumb, I had no sense of your size

Bm A

It was dumb to hold so tight

G D

But last night

On the birthday in the kitchen

My grip was loose, my eyes were open

I felt your shape and heard you breathing

I felt the rise and fall of your chest

Bm

I felt your fall

A

Your winter snows

G

Your gusty blow

D

Your lava flow

Bm

I felt it all

A

Your starry night

G

Your lack of light

D

With limp arms I can feel most of you

Bm G

Em A

I hung around your neck independently

Bm G

And my loss was overwhelmed

Em A

By this new depth I don't think I ever felt

Bm

But I don't know

A

The nights are cold

G

And I remember warmth

A Bm G

I could have sworn I wasn't alone
