Cassiopeia

[Intro]
Ab Bb
 
 
[Verse 1]
                 Ab
You were talking on Zoom about women in Ancient Greece
  Bb
Compared to the myths where they were represented
       Ab                                     Bb
I sat across from you reading Ulysses (I sat across from you reading Ulysses)
           Ab
And whilst I try to project some intellect
    Bb
I'm not convinced I knew what it all meant
      Ab                                        Bb
But I did know that the words were so pretty (I did know that the words were so pretty)
Ab
Woah
Bb
*unintelligable words*
 
 
[Chorus 1]
       Ab                                            Bb
I will give you my palm to help you walk through the hurtful
             Fm                 Eb               Bb
Want to give you that calm that you have so long searched for
       Ab
Whilst I make space for all the parts of me
       Bb
That I do not want, I let them be
   Fm                      Eb                       Bb                    Ab
As minds twist through the fractured expanse of our being (expanse of our being)
Ab
We mend together gaze to Cassiopeia
Bb
We mend together gaze to Cassiopeia
Ab
We mend together gaze to Cassiopeia
Bb
We mend together gaze to Cassiopeia
 
 
[Verse 2]
Ab
And the rough our diamond was in seemed so rough
     Bb
That no one bothered to start digging it up
       Ab                                          Bb                  NC
But we carved our own pickaxe from the rubble with our teeth (with our teeth)
        Ab
Because life is beautiful but life is work
   Bb
So full of joy, so full of hurt
    Ab                                      Bb
The starlight meets us in the dirt before I wake you with coffee and peace
 
 
[Chorus 2]
       Ab                                            Bb
I will give you my palm to help you walk through the hurtful
             Fm                 Eb               Bb
Want to give you that calm that you have so long searched for
       Ab
Whilst I make space for all the parts of me
       Bb
That I do not want, I let them be
   Fm                      Eb                       Bb                    Ab
As minds twist through the fractured expanse of our being (expanse of our being)
Ab
We mend together gaze to Cassiopeia
Bb
We mend together gaze to Cassiopeia
Ab
We mend together gaze to Cassiopeia
Bb
We mend together gaze to Cassiopeia
 
 
[Bridge]
  Ab       Fm     Eb          Bb     Ab
I hear the secret whisperings of the world
       Fm        Eb       Bb
In the curves of all your bursts of laughter
Ab         Fm             Eb              Bb
You are so beautifully so brutally out of comprehension
Ab      Fm       Bb
And how lonely I was in the before and after
 
 
[Chorus 3]
       Ab                                            Bb
I will give you my palm to help you walk through the hurtful
             Fm                 Eb               Bb
Want to give you that calm that you have so long searched for
       Ab
Whilst I make space for all the parts of me
       Bb
That I do not want, I let them be
   Fm                      Eb                       Bb                    Ab
As minds twist through the fractured expanse of our being (expanse of our being)
