Lark Chords & Lyrics - Josh Ritter

Capo 5th

[D]The golden ratio the shell
[D]The stairs ascending round themse[A]lves
The [D]trees [A]rustle as if to [G]kneel and li[A]sten
To the [D]heartbeat of a lark or the [G]lark in my h[A]eartbeat [D]

[D]The oxygen in priestly green
[D]The answers dressed in labyrint[A]hine
The [D]telescopes a[A]top the mountains o[G]f ecstatic v[A]ision listening
To the [D]heartbeat of a lark or the [G]lark in my h[A]eartbeat [D]

|:[D] [A] :|
|:Hey, hey hey :|

[G]I am as[D]sured, yes [G]I am a[D]ssured yes
[Bm]I am a[A]ssured that peace will [G]come to me [D]
[G]A peace that [D]can yes[G] surpass the[D] speed yes
[Bm]Of my [A]understanding[G] and my [D]need

[D]The meteoric warp and went
[D]In counterbalance to the spark ever as[A]cending
The [D]arrow shoots f[A]orward though it m[G]oves through rep[A]etition
To the [D]heartbeat of a lark or the l[G]ark in my he[A]artbeat [D]

|:[D] [A] :|
|:Hey, hey hey :|

[D]What is it that drives the driven snow now'
Upon[D] whose [A]temples with I r[G]est my weary h[A]opes now'
The [D]rain distills down [A]steeples fills the e[G]ars of lonely [A]church mice
With th[D]e heartbeat of a lark or the la[G]rk in my hea[A]rtbeat [D]

|:[D] [A] :|
|:Hey, hey hey :|

Repeat Chorus, end on G
