Em D C
We're not together here
Em
Though we lie entwined
D
To make room for the other presence
C Em
We both draw back in our minds
D
I have a prophecy
C Em
Threatening to spill into words
D
This growing certainty
C
Of over
[Chorus]
G D
There once was a time I was sure of the bond
Em C
When my hands and my tongue and my thoughts were enough
G D
We are the same but our lives move along
Em B Em
And the third one between replaces what once was love
[Verse 2]
Em D Em
Freedom is being alone
C Em
I fear liberation
D C
But something more alive than silence
Em
Swallows conversation
D
No pleasing drama
C Em
And subtly averted eyes
D
The swelling fermata
C
As the chord dies
[Chorus]
G D
There once was a time I was sure of the bond
Em C
When my hands and my tongue and my thoughts were enough
G D
We are the same but our lives move along
Em B Em
And the third one between replaces what once was love
[Bridge]
Em D C
There's no denying we feel the third one
Em
We do
D C
I'm tired of hiding, and so are you
[Chorus]
G D
There once was a time I was sure of the bond
Em C
When my hands and my tongue and my thoughts were enough
G D
We are the same but our lives move along
Em B Em
And the third one between replaces what once was love
