| E | D | |
| I'd walk the water to get b | ack to you |
| A | |
| and w | here I was complete |
| E | D | |
| We found you scattered by the h | ighway side |
| A | |
| too s | oon to be released |
| E | D | |
| Gathered the pieces up a | nd clean the places |
| A | |
| where you were undone |
| E | |
| And washed the wreckage out |
| D | A | |
| Unf | inished all the tho | ughts that we'd begun |
| Pre-chorus |
| C#m | B | G# | |
| I came to b | urn the sky and t | ear away |
| A | |
| the b | eauty that it sews |

| If I could r | ape the day |
| G# | A | |
| and f | ind the things I th | ought I'd always known |
| Chorus 1 |

| Leave it a | lone again tonight |
| 2nd verse |
| E | D | |
| I laid your arms out long u | ntwisted there |
| A | |
| and sh | aped what I could find |
| E | D | |
| Unmade the most of it then l | eft the rest |
| A | |
| the p | arts unrecognized |
| E | D | |
| My reconstruction was the only w | ay |
| A | |
| for o | ne last look at you |
| E | |
| I lost the sense of it |
| D | A | |
| the a | bsolution that w | e never knew |
