Intro: G  C  C  Em  C 


       G 
Errant heat to the star 
        C 
And the rain let in 
    C                 Em                 C 
The hawser rolls, the vessel's whole and Christ, it's thin 


         D               G 
Well I'd know that you'd offer 
            D               C 
Would reveal it, though it's soft and flat 
                          Em 
Won't repeat it, cull and coffer's that 
        G                 Am 
For the soffit, hang this homeward 


                      Em 
Pry it open with your love 
        D                       C 
Sending lost and alone standing offers 


      G 
It is steep, it is stone 
       C 
Such recovery 
         C                Em               C 
From the daily press, the deepest nest, in keeper's keep 


        G 
All the news at the door 
       C 
Such a revelry 
           C                Em             C  
Well, it's hocked inside of everything you said to me 


       D             G 
It was found what we orphaned 
              D         C 
Didn't mention it would serve us picked 
          Em 
Said your love is known 
             G 
I'm standing up on it 
          Am 
Aren't we married? 


                      Em 
I ain't living in the dark no more 
           D                       C 
It's not a promise, I'm just gonna call it 


 C 
 Heavy mitted love 
    G 
Our love is a star 
          C 
Sure some hazardry 
        C                Em           C 
For the light before and after most indefinitely
