Capo: 1st fret
[Verse 1]
G F
You're a long damn way from North Carolina now
Am7
What a goddamn victory, I guess
G F
Swimmin' it up like assholes at Sinalei
Am7
The way my ancestors did
G F
And if they found me face down and dead in the chuck
Am7
At least they'd know that I loved you this much
G F
And was happy I caved upon your insistence
Am7
'Cause now it all means something
G Am7 F C
You and me,
G F C
in this ageless thing
[Chorus]
G F
And it takes and it takes
Am7 G
And it moves and he makes us of one mind
F Am7
And he takes and he takes
[Verse 2]
G F
And I wish I could make it so you could see yourself
Am7
Just seeing everything
G F Am7
Whatever it's called out there in the firmament
G Am7 F C G F
A screed, a view in an endless feed
C G Am7 F C
Of disquiet I never knew I had, I guess
G F
But I am full to the head with unsayable things
C
That I don't want to forget
[Chorus]
G F
And it takes and it takes
Am7 G
And it moves and he makes us of one mind
F C
And he takes and he takes
G F
And it takes and it takes
Am7 G
And it moves and he makes us of one mind
F C
And he takes and he takes
[Verse 3]
C Am7
Tenterhooks, 'cause the gods know that I am tender prey
G
And heaven knows that if they balled me away
F
Would I reach your love again?
C Am7
Flawless paradise and I am raised up in a sky blue sky
G
In a bad deed with no good alibis
F
Will I see your love again? Will I feel your love again?
[Interlude]
G F C [x4]
[Chorus]
G F
And it takes and it takes
Am7 G
And he moves and he makes us of one mind
F C
And he takes and he takes, oh
G F
And it takes and it takes
Am7 G
And he moves and he makes us of one mind
G F C
And he takes and he takes, ooh
[Outro]
G
I was born and survived by some cold inner space
F Am7
'Til you called out and told me I belonged in this place
G
And when my body was splayed in a miracle mile
F C
"Let 'em catch me and kill me, let them take me in style"
G
You're the only one, the only one
F Am7
That I know in some way I'll be thinking of
G F
When I've made my bed and I've paid my dues
C
At least you'll know that I loved you
You're a long damn way from North Carolina now
What a goddamn victory I guess
Swimming it up like assholes at Sina Lei
The way my ancestors did
And if they find me face down
Dead in the chuck
At least they'd know that I loved you this much
And was happy I caved upon your insistence
Cuz now it all means something
You
And me
In this ageless thing
And it takes and it takes
And it moves and he makes us
Of one mind
And he takes and he takes
I wish I could make it so you could see yourself
Just seeing everything
Whatever it's called out there
In the firmament
A screed
A view
In an endless feed
Of disquiet I never knew
I had
I guess
But I am filled to the head
Of unsayable things that I don't
Want to forget
And it takes and it takes
And it moves and he makes us
Of one mind
And he takes and he takes
And it takes and it takes
And it moves and he makes us
Of one mind
And he takes and he takes
Tenterhooks
Cuz the gods know that I am tender prey
And heaven knows that if they balled me away
Would I reach your love again?
Flawless paradise
And I'm raised up in a sky blue sky
In a bad deed with no good alibies
Will I see your love again?
Will I feel your love again?
I was born and survived by some cold inner space
Til you called out and told me I belonged in this place
And when my body was splayed out in a miracle mile
"Let 'em catch me and kill me let them take me in style"
You're the only one
The only one
That I know in some way I'll be thinking of
When I've made my bed
And I've paid my dues
At least you'll know that I loved you
