[Intro]
C Em Am Am7/G F F G



[Verse]
               C      Em      Am        Am7/G
What are those wings? What is that rust?
               F                                       G
What are those tattered things that make you look like Icarus?
         C     Em         Am        Am7/G
Somebody stole your fairy dust
            F                                     G
And now the weight inside your chest betrays your wanderlust



[Chorus]
       F             G
So you fall into the waves
     Am                 Am7/G     F
Of a thousand questions asked but none explained
        F                 G
And now all, all you can do
      Am                 Am7/G           F
Is to trust that I'll be waiting here to carry you
       G
I will carry you



[Verse]
           C    Em       Am   Am7/G
Spectators come from far away
               F                          G
Like they have tickets to the circus on a Saturday
              C     Em   Am     Am7/G
Caught like a child in a parade
                F
You spread your arms but when you're wounded
          G
You can't fly away


[Chorus]
       F             G
So you fall into the waves
     Am                 Am7/G     F
Of a thousand questions asked but none explained
        F                 G
And now all, all you can do
      Am                 Am7/G           F
Is to trust that I'll be waiting here to carry you
             G
I will carry you



[Bridge]
Am                 F                    C
Smoke and feathers floating through the sky
         Am
Like the tears that you cry
Am7/G            F                  C
Drops of melting wax rain down like fire
           Am
And you're so very tired



[Chorus]
       F             G
So you fall into the waves
     Am                 Am7/G     F
Of a thousand questions asked but none explained
        F                G
And now all, all you can do
       Am                Am7/G           F          Am
Is to trust that I'll be waiting here to carry you, carry you,
F                 G
I will carry you, carry you



[Outro]
               C      Em           Am    C
What are those wings? What is that rust?
