You as You Were Shearwater
Capo on 2nd fret
When you [E]fall at the rocks
At the bend at the river
With the [Abm]blood from your nose
Running hard on your fingers
And through [B]the rest of your li[A]fe
[E] [Abm] [B] [A]
The el[E]ectric charge
Of a change in the weather
You were [Abm]touching my arm
You were holding a feather
And then I [B]opened my eyes[A]
As the [C#m]World goes racing, suddenly changed
As the shock of the axe, it leaves you trembling[B]
Like a [C#m]busting shell in the small of your back
Or a job that's hard on the cast of your little lie[B]
And an animal life was surging away
And you were [E]back on the road
Through the worst of the Winter
Through the[Abm] Valley of Lies
Passing through like an arrow
Oh , if your [E]vision collapsed
And a storm from the river
Like a [Abm]golden medalion
Clutching tight in your fingers
But on the [B]slope of the edge
Will you [A]recover your life
You could [E]stand on the back of a shuddering beam
With a pistol firing shots into the [Abm]air
You could [E]run in the blood of the Sun's hard rays
You could drive the mountains down into the [Abm]bay
Or go back to the East where it's all so civ[B]ilized
Where I was [A]born to the life
But I am [E]leaving the life
I am leaving the life
I am leaving the life
I am leaving the life
I am [Abm]leaving the life
I am leaving the life
I am leaving the life
I am leaving the life
I am [B]leaving[A] [E]
