Bb Eb Gm7 F

[Verse 1]

Bb                                  Eb
The night you asked me to hold your keys
                             Gm7
I felt like you wanted me to leave
                        F
I looked up the sky was more than a dream
Bb                         Eb
I tried so hard to soak it in
                               Gm7
Take every breath with a clear head
               F
So much that I couldn’t let myself forget but

Bb                           Eb
You put on a movie and we watched
                                Gm7
Both mostly silent, we barely talked
                         F
We filled the space with quiet breath
Bb                      Eb
You fell asleep in innocence
                      Gm7
I felt all your loneliness
                             F
I watched you sleep and felt comforted and

[Chorus]
Eb         Bb
I tried to sleep too
Eb         Eb
I tried to sleep too
        Gm7             F
But you made it look so easy

[Interlude]

Bb Eb Gm7 F

[Verse 2]

Bb                            Eb
Behind the house where I grew up
                           Gm7
Old cemetery bodies broken up
                             F
I touched their names in the cold cement
Bb                             F
I made up lives they could’ve lived
                            Gm7
Recalled each tale with holiness
                         F
Though they were made up on whim and

[Chorus]
Eb         Bb
I felt the quiet
Eb         Bb
I tried to try it
       Gm7                     F
But my mind was always running crazy loud

[Interlude]

Bb Eb Gm7 F

[Verse 3]

Bb                           Eb
Could I sit on your floor again?
                         Gm7
I’ll do much better if I can
                        F
I was too small then to take up any space but

[Chorus]

Eb         Bb
I tried to show you
Eb         Bb
I tried to show you
     Gm7    F
That I was stronger
