Take It Like A Man

INTRO:
NONE

VERSE:
C               Em
 Like a common loon
                   C
I started hearing birds
               Em
Birdsong everywhere
                  C
A lark in the shower
                               Em  Em D   C
From the night to the morning after

 C            Em
Warblers and wrens
             C
Hymn at my throat
                Em
Shook and quivering
                 C
Oh I could have crowed
                 Em   Em D    E    Am
Oh I could have crowed


CHORUS:
       Am             Dm
I was snared by your wrist
                     Am
I know what the cost is
                        Dm
In the octaves of consequence
           Bdim               C
I know the cost of flight is landing

       E            E7            Am
And I know I could take it like a man
   E                          Am    Am    C
I know I could take it like a man


VERSE:
 C             Em
Falls of fascinations
                     C
The sky was leaking light
               Em
Like your eyes do
                        C
That shipwrecked expression
                       Em Em D   C
I need more words for blue

 C               Em
Trilling in the tree
                   C
The way I measure you
               Em
Fractured thirteenths
                    C
That grin that you give
                     Em Em D    E   E7  Am
When you want me to quit


CHORUS:
         Am                 Dm
Falling further and falcon swift
                     Am
I know what the cost is
                        Dm
In the octaves of consequence
           Bdim               C
I know the cost of flight is landing

   E          E7            Am
I know I can take it like a man
   E          E7            Am
I know I can take it like a man
   E                        Am    Am  E
I know I can take it like a man

COUTRO:
         Am                 Dm
Falling further and falcon swift
                     Am
I know what the cost is
                        Dm
In the octaves of consequence
           Bdim               C
I know the cost of flight is landing

       E          E7            Am
And I know I can take it like a man
