Adim


[Verse 1]
Ab7      Adim   Ab7                              Adim
Pale September, I wore the time like a dress that year
Ab7               Adim   Ab7                           Adim
The autumn days swung soft around me, like cotton on my skin
Ab9               Ebm6/Gb     Ab9                            Ebm6/Gb
But as the embers of the summer lost their breath and disappeared
Ab9                  Ebm6/Gb     Ab9                           Ebm6/Gb
My heart went cold and only hollow rhythms resounded from within
Abm6             Db9
But then he rose, brilliant as the moon in full
Abm6                          Db9
And sank in the burrows of my keep


[Chorus]
    Gb     Absus4    Ebm7      Gb     Absus4   Ebm7
And all my armor falling down, in a pile at my feet
    Gb     Absus4  Ebm7     Absus4   Gb     Db/F    Ebm7
And my winter giving way to warm, as I'm singing him to sleep

[Verse 2]

Ab7           Adim    Ab7        Adim
He goes along just as a water lily
Ab7           Adim    Ab7                          Adim
Gentle on the surface of his thoughts his body floats
Ab9      Ebm6/Gb   Ab9                Ebm6/Gb
Unweighed down by passion or intensity
Ab9                Ebm6/Gb   Ab9           Ebm6/Gb
Yet unaware of the depth upon which he coasts
Abm6       Db9
And he finds a home in me
Abm6                           Db9
For what misfortune sows, he knows my touch will reap


[Chorus]
    Gb     Absus4    Ebm7      Gb     Absus4   Ebm7
And all my armor falling down, in a pile at my feet
    Gb     Absus4  Ebm7     Absus4   Gb     Db/F    Ebm7
And my winter giving way to warm, as I'm singing him to sleep

[Chorus]
Gb      Absus4    Ebm7     Gb     Absus4   Ebm7
All my armor falling down, in a pile at my feet
    Gb     Absus4  Ebm7     Absus4   Gb     Db/F    Ebm7
And my winter giving way to warm, as I'm singing him to sleep
 Gb        Absus4    Ebm7     Gb     Absus4 Ebm7
All my armor falling down, in a pile at my feet
    Gb     Absus4  Ebm7     Absus4   Gb     Db/F    Ebm7
And my winter giving way to warm, as I'm singing him to sleep
