Bees Uke tab by The Ballroom Thieves

C                             G                   Am
There's a voice that pulls me stumbling through a symphony
F                    C                G 
And the less of it I need, the more I get
         C                G               Am
Till I'm swept up by the shape of all the centuries
F                   G              C
Like an echo in the chambers of my chest

C                           G             Am
I think she fears I'll be a servant to my history
F                            C                G
Or worse, a slave to someone else's misplaced doubts
C                    G                  Am
So I try too hard to kill what's out to kill me
F                         G             C
Till I'm blind and hiding in the lion's mouth

        F                                       C
And the words she aches to hear pour through my canyon
            F                            G
And they're singing in the caverns of my limbs
             C             G            Am
And though I do my best to try to understand them
          F              G               C
They only follow me like vultures in the end

C                           G                   Am
I once read that I should write something worth reading
F                              C       G
Or I should do something worth writing about
C                         G             Am
As my ears they buzz like bees upon the ceiling
F                        G             C
I start to pour a little more than I'm allowed

           C                  G                Am
I said our hearts know deeper seasons than our memories
               F              C               G
She said "This harvest might sustain us for a year"
C                        G                   Am
And of all the thousand ways the world could tempt me
F                       G                 C
I've never met a better fighter than her fear

        F                                  C
So as I try to breathe the air that she is breathing
       F                                G
And we dance a lightless dance upon my floor
     C               G                 Am
I am burning to tell her she's all I'm needing
                F              G                 C
But I'm drowned out by all the noise outside the door

C              G              Am
Carried by the current of the morning
F               C              G
Miles below the surface of the dawn
C               G                Am
This is not the place that I was born in
F                         G                    C
But it doesn't mean it's not the place where I belong
