Skipping Stones

G           C            G
You are the first thing I see
       G       C           G          Em
When I open my eyes when I wake from a dream
           G               C        G
You're the light through a rip in the seams
G                    C          G        Em
Burst forth from the night onto dust as it gleams


[Chorus]

             Am                  C
But with the morning sun we also see
       Am                     C
Blurry shapes appear so gradually
       Am                       C
I'm so afraid to feel this way again
                  G
But I let you in


[Verse]

G           C       G
Love is the loudest of sounds
         G           C             G           Em
It's the hymn in the air, it's the dirge from the ground
G            C      G
You've got a hold over me
         G          C                 G   Em
Until my world disappears and you're all I see


[Chorus]

       Am                  C
But in solitude we're often chased
        Am                    C
By the truths we are afraid to face
             Am                        C
And it takes more than just a fleeting dream
                G
To set us free


[Verse]

            Am                     C
Like how we tried to skip a sinking stone
        Am                          C
Just to watch how long that it could go
       Am                    C
I'm so afraid to fall in love again
                    G
I know how it ends


[Outro]

G C G
G C G Em
G C G
G C G Em


And if I try and skip a sinking stone
Maybe it'll be the one that goes
Forever as it starts its flight
Towards the horizon line
