[VERSE 1]
I [Am]see you in windows
That o[Am]pen so wide
There's no[G]thing beyond them
And no [Am]one inside
[VERSE 2]
You k[Am]ick off your sandals
And s[Am]hake out your hair
The s[G]alt on your shoulders
Like sp[Am]arks in the air
[VERSE 3]
There's s[Am]ilt on your ankles
And s[Am]and on your feet
The ri[G]ver too shallow
The o[Am]cean too deep
[VERSE 4]
You s[Am]mile at your suffering
The sw[Am]eetest reprieve
W[G]hy did you leave us?
[Am]Why did you leave?
[CHORUS]
You k[C]ick off your sandals
And sh[C]ake out your hair
It's t[E7]orn where you're dancing
It's t[E7]orn everywhere
[VERSE 5]
It's t[Am]orn on the right
And it's t[Am]orn on the left
It's t[F]orn in the centre
[F] Fmaj7b5 [E]
Which few can accept
[VERSE 6]
It's t[Am]orn where there's beauty
It's t[Am]orn where there's death
It's t[G]orn where there's mercy
But t[Am]orn somewhat less
[VERSE 7]
It's t[Am]orn in the highest
From ki[Am]ngdom to crown
The mes[G]sages fly
But the ne[Am]twork is down
[VERSE 8]
Br[Am]uised at the shoulder
And [Am]cut at the wrist
The s[G]ea rushes home
To its th[Am]imble of mist
[VERSE 9]
The opp[Am]osites falter
The sp[Am]irals reverse
And E[G]ve must re-enter
The s[Am]leep of her birth
[CHORUS]
And [C]up through the system
The wo[C]rlds are withdrawn
From e[E7]very dominion
The m[E7]ind stood upon
And [Am]now that you told her
And [Am]now that it's done
The n[F]ame has no number
[F] Fmaj7b5 [E]
Not even the one
[VERSE 10]
Come g[Am]ather the pieces
All sc[Am]attered and lost
The l[G]ie in what's holy
The l[Am]ight in what's not
[VERSE 11]
The s[Am]tory's been written
The le[Am]tter's been sealed
You g[G]ave me a lily
But [Am]now it's a field
[OUTRO]
You k[Am]ick off your sandals
And s[Am]hake out your hair
It's t[G]orn where you're dancing
It's t[Am]orn everywhere
I [Am]see you in windows
That o[Am]pen so wide
There's no[G]thing beyond them
And no [Am]one inside
[VERSE 2]
You k[Am]ick off your sandals
And s[Am]hake out your hair
The s[G]alt on your shoulders
Like sp[Am]arks in the air
[VERSE 3]
There's s[Am]ilt on your ankles
And s[Am]and on your feet
The ri[G]ver too shallow
The o[Am]cean too deep
[VERSE 4]
You s[Am]mile at your suffering
The sw[Am]eetest reprieve
W[G]hy did you leave us?
[Am]Why did you leave?
[CHORUS]
You k[C]ick off your sandals
And sh[C]ake out your hair
It's t[E7]orn where you're dancing
It's t[E7]orn everywhere
