Intro
Am F / Am F / Dm E C /
Am F / (pause) Am // C / Am Dm E Am
Verse
Am Em
It starts with a spark, a breath and a moment of still,
Dm
A flicker, a glow, as the oxygen spills through a delta of spindles and stone,
E
Kindled from nothing in a whisper of smoke.
Am Em
And there a gift ignites; a cursive thought takes flight,
And there's a dancer, twisting in between the spines.
Dm E
Give her the breather's kiss, and watch her spirit lift,
F
She'll take over the stage, and she'll own the night.
PreChorus
Am G F
Learning how to make a name from the words we can't keep in.
C Am G
Learning how to strike a flame, and draw hellfire from nothing.
C Am Em
I don't know where to begin, to make these words take shape,
C Am F C
How to nurture a flame, and raise it to a blaze
Am Em C
That on the clearest night can be seen forever.
Am F C
I don't know where to begin, begin again.
