It sounds better with palm muting and silencing of the top strings.

When I think of
fates worse than this
all I can think of
Is something you said

You said we were golden
bright like the sun
(bass notes A-G plays for the next two lines)
now I am stranded
knowing I'm not the one
(bass notes pattern A-B resumes)

An ocean of anger
flowing through me
bloodstained and broken
from what I've failed to see

Just like a snake charmer
you led me astray
living in distress
hoping help is on the way

Chorus
Dm                Em
In the midst of a storm
              Am          G
searching for shelter
Dm          Em
I came upon
           Am           G
one single feather
Dm            Em
A halfhearted wish
              Am          G
for something better
Dm         Em
Gracefully cursed
  Am (repeat verse pattern)
I thirst

Attached to the soil
I'm dyed in the wool
there's iron in my blood
yet so vulnerable

But after I'm gone
once I finally leave
you will be left alone
to the wolves and the thieves

Chorus
Dm                  Em
In the midst of the storm
              Am          G
searching for shelter
Dm      Em
I came upon
           Am           G
one single feather
Dm            Em
I held on and wished
              Am          G
for something better
Dm         Em
Gracefully cursed
  Am (repeat verse pattern)
I thirst
