Levers Tab por Roland Faunte

[Verse 1]
 
Am
There stands a door that I was yet to consider
        F/C
But the locks are all melting and the colours are convincing me
C                                              G6
Words on the gate reading I'll make this all go away
 
Just walk through me to the silence, that's the music
 
       Am
In the valley of nothing where everyone started
  F/C
Before life erased you and made you not part of it
C
Broke off a piece of what was silent, but eternal
         G6
And then trapped in a body we beg to return to it
 
Am
Placed in the depths of an ocean, forgetting
       F/C
How we belong at the surface but everyone's swimming
        C
Towards lights at the bottom reflecting on mirrors
            G6
But I could labour no longer and float towards what everyone
 
Am
Fears the eternal that's found in the shallows
    F/C
But one day they will realize what I have just figured out
C
Here, at the bottom, it's cold and it's sort of merciless
        G6
But the water gets warmer as you float away from it
 
 
[Chorus 1]
 
Am
On my way to live the greatest
F/C                                     C
Life, not have one, or I'll just stick around
 
And see if it gets better
G6
This decision lasts forever
 
Am
Seeing pictures, filled with envy
F/C                           C
Trying to become who I used to be
 
It seems so far from likely
G6
Smiling, he looks nothing like me
 
 
[Verse 2]
 
Am
Levers and pulleys and spindles of wire
   F/C
My limbs are all frozen and my lungs are on fire
    C
And here in your arms, I feel miles away from you
G6
Know how it's strange, but I mean all that I'm saying, oh
 
Am
Levers, and pulleys, and spindles of rope
        F/C
In that perfect machine that I used to be, something broke
           C
And then a thought so unnatural that it felt like perfection
         G6
Came and knocked on my door, and in time I just let it in
 
Am
Asking me if I had heard of the surface
      F/C
Where nothing goes wrong, and where no one can ever hurt you
    C
And taking my hand it allowed me to breathe
          G6
Said that there's a way to always feel the way you feel
 
When you finally find your way to sleep
 
            Am
And then it showed me my life
 
How it could end, and where it started
            F/C
And then it showed me the world but said I'm not a part of it
        C
But the lonely and the hurting have a place, no one's seen it
    G6
But once I have shown you, you can't ever leave it
 
   Am
No matter these thoughts, and these words, so inviting
  F/C
I can't say goodbye just quite yet I'll keep fighting it
C
People who love me would never stop hurting
     G6
From something so simple yet something so permanent
 
Am
Gone into the valley where everyone started
      F/C
Where smiles are worn by the hopeless and the brokenhearted
C
There in the light of the stars dancing quietly
G6
Spirits at home in the warmth of eternity
 
 
[Chorus 2]
 
A
Broken boy who must keep hoping
F/C                               C
Maybe one day he will figure this out
 
Or things will heal in time
     G6
This breathing ghost that never died
 
      Am
These bits and pieces all left over
F/C                               C
From that smiling child I used to be
 
I'm cold and terrified
  G6
I know there's warmth but I can't find it
