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