Cast a Hook in Me Laura Veirs

[C#m]Breathe l[Am]ife to the st[E]reet from your m[B]outh
Those r[A]uby red l[E]ips have m[B]uch to give
Pull [C#m]life from the l[Am]and with your c[E]apable h[B]ands
Those l[A]ife loving b[E]eautiful br[B]oken hands
O Iâ??ll [A]stand with you and[E] marvel
At the co[C#m]smos pink and br[A]ight
All the p[A]ages flipping ba[E]ckwards
â??ti[C#m]l time is gone and[A] wrong is right
Ri[A]vers running up the hills into the sky
And down to the [C#m]sea[A]
Where a merman with a twinkle
Cast a h[C#m]ook in me
[C#m]Sing me a [Am]salty blue s[E]ong Iâ??ll be[B] gone
With w[A]atery ch[E]eeks down fl[B]owered lanes
Tattered s[C#m]ails, as a r[Am]amshackle s[E]hip Iâ??ll go[B] pale
Staring str[A]aight in the f[E]ace, looming te[B]mpest waves
Otherw[A]ise Iâ??ll wither,[E] die here
On this r[C#m]each of rubble r[A]ambling
With two e[A]ars filled up with s[E]and, dear
And a br[C#m]oken gaze Iâ??ll be [A]scrambling
Like ri[A]vers running up the hills into the sky
And down to the [C#m]sea[A]
Where a merman with a twinkle cast a hook in me[C#m]
Summer [C#m]sky falling [Am]into the s[E]ea taking p[B]art of me
See the b[A]ones on the [E]sand in the [B]light
All the h[C#m]erds of the s[Am]ea rushing [E]by pay no m[B]ind
To the da[A]ncing refl[E]ections gone w[B]ild
And at ni[A]ght a fractured st[E]ar fell
And pi[C#m]erced right through the t[A]hick of me
I cried [A]out in pain and j[E]oy, â??Yes,
Iâ??m no[C#m]t dead, not numb, not[A] withering.â??
Like a fallen leaf [A]who keeps her green
Iâ??m turning bright in t[C#m]he sea[A]
Where a merman with a twinkle casts a h[C#m]ook in me.
