Intro: Em G C (x2) 


Verse 

Em            C          G 
I'll be the earth that grounds you 
Em          C          G 
From the chaos all around 
Em           C         G 
I'll be the home you return to 
Em    C               G 
I can be your middle ground 
Em        C             G 
And I can serve as a reminder 
Em      C                G 
if you jump you will not fall. 
Em          C                   G 
Go on and spread those wings of reason 
Em       C           G 
We are water after all 


            C       G 
And if you call on me 
            C             G 
I'll come running like a coyote 
           C         G 
Cuz we're pillars indeed 
    C                           G 
A lighthouse when you're out to sea 
    Am                          D 
A beacon when direction's all I need 
    Bm                       Em 
A compass if you know what I mean 
  C                     D                   G 
Drunk on that nectar of all that you are to me 


Verse 

Em       C                G 
You can trust me and my instincts 
Em            C              G 
Cuz they are like that of a bird 
Em     C            G 
I am loyal, I will feed you 
Em        C                  G 
Sing you songs you've never heard 
Em            C                 G 
Who wants to wear the hat this morning? 
Em         C           G 
I reckon neither of us care 
Em            C                 G 
Cuz there is more to life than leading 
Em        C            G 
I would follow you, I swear 


            C       G 
And if you call on me 
            C             G 
I'll come running like a coyote 
            C         G 
Cuz we're pillars indeed 
    C                           G 
A lighthouse when you're out to sea 
    Am                           D 
A beacon when direction's all I need 
    Bm                       Em 
A compass if you know what I mean 
  C                     D                   G 
Drunk on that nectar of all that you are to me 


Verse 

Em          C               G 
And I will always share my fire 
Em      C            G 
Proper way to pay respects 
Em      C           G 
Lay tobacco down in gratitude 
Em                         G 
Yeah, one thing I cannot neglect 
Em             C                  G 
And there are eyes that watch us closely 
Em              C              G 
And there's a story they will tell 
Em         C                   G 
There's a way 'tween fact and fiction 
Em          C            G 
And we have no time to dispel 
Em          C       G 
So familiar yet so foreign 
Em          C      G 
Polaroids say so much 
Em          C      G 
Bring me ceremony parallels 
Em          C           G 
I'll bring palaver and sage brush 


            C       G 
And if you call on me 
            C             G 
I'll come running like a coyote 
           C         G 
Cuz we're pillars indeed 
    C                           G 
A lighthouse when you're out to sea 
    Am                           D 
A beacon when direction's all I need 
    Bm                       Em 
A compass if you know what I mean 
  C                     D                   G 
Drunk on that nectar of all that you are to me 


Verse 

Em               C                 G 
And I love your feet for how they found me 
Em               C              G  
And how they walked upon four winds 
Em             C          G 
Be my deer, I'll be your meadow 
Em          C          G 
Come graze upon bare skin
