Eyes As Candles

**NOTE: You can replace C with Em7/C or Cmaj7 throughout the song to add variety


INTRO
C  C  Bm  Em
C  D  Bm  Em


Verse 1

C
My world is stirring sickly

Bm               Em
Spits out our voices singing

C            D    
"Sha la la la, oh, no no,"

Bm               Em
To kingdom come so slightly

C
Here in the void in your place

Bm               Em
I twitch and tweak an illusion

C            D
To sit and stare so blankly

Bm               Em
Until our hope is used up

Pre-chorus

C           Bm           D
Why do I always seem to need you when you're fleeing?
C           Bm           D
Where do you go when I'm around?
C           Bm           D
What have I done? What have I lost that's so defeating?
C           Bm           D
And have the nerve to wear a crown?

Chorus x4

C  C  Bm  Em
C  D  Bm  Em

Oh
Na na na na na na, hey! hey! hey!

Verse 2
Some unguarded room
A smoky figure fills me full
Makes my head swell and ruin
My family kneels at the pew
They nod - 'We believe in what you're doing'
I feel you rise above me
The western landscape's towering
And from my shell of a body
The flowers blossom for picking

Pre-chorus

Chorus x4

Bridge
**no chords**
I've waited and waited for someone to take it
Don't fight it, don't bother an inch for another
Don't listen, don't hear them, they're in this together
I've learned well, now hear me, there's much to be fearing
I'm used to your absence, your faceless distraction

Bridge/Chorus

C
I've painted your patterns but found them attractive
Bm                        Em
Now I've been leaning towards a life far more candid
C                         D
Though lead through the dark with your eyes as my candles
Bm                        Em
Where your life and my life's directions can wrangle
C
And all of a sudden you've left me to handle
Bm                        Em
The reasons that never forbid me to stand tall
C                         D
And somehow, oh somehow, I'll find out the secret
Bm                        Em
To staying alive without actually breathing
