Tone: [D]
Intro:
[D]
Verse:
[D]The greener grass grows where the wildfires fertilize,
[D]With ashes of sparrows, peppered moths, and butterflies. Gh[Em]Ghosts of trees and t[G]termites
Bloom in t[D]the beanstalk.
[D]And if you get lightheaded when standing too fast, is it from
[D]Shaking out the weight of phosphenes and past salt de[Em]deposits, on warm little ri[G]rivers,
That burst from our w[D]words
Pre-Chorus:
And g[A]od knows crying a[G]in't gonna change a th[D]ing.
She s[A]aid "take care" but I t[G]ake more than I b[D]ring.[Dmaj7] [D7]
Chorus:
She said, "It j[G]just feels inhumane to lose this mu[D]much.
'Cause when you l[Em]eave you know you t[G]ake more than your lo[D]ve."
Just one week [G]of cicada days, we're losing t[D]touch.
And I know it j[Em]ust feels inhum[G]ane to lose this m[D]uch.
Interlude:
[Em] [G]
Verse:
[D]Our nerves were braided under ceiling stars, that were all
[D]Glow in the dark, hanging over queen-sized
P[Em]urple waves of a[G]ncient chemicals. Just whis[D]per. [Em] [G]
[D]Did you ever build with those endangered bones? Well the
ground looks soft enough to b[D7]bury this now. [Em]Ohhh[G]Ohhhh,
Please, oh [D]no.[Dmaj7]no. [D7]
Pre-Chorus:
And then my spo[A]nsor said "Do n[G]othing. Nothing w[D]orks."
And my d[A]doctor said "Don't [G]do that if it h[D]hurts." [Dmaj7] [D7]
Chorus:
She said, "It j[G]just feels inhumane to lose this mu[D]much.
'Cause when you l[Em]eave you know you t[G]ake more than your lo[D]ve."
The seasons[G]seasons of cicada days we can’t make [D]up
And I know it j[Em]ust feels inhum[G]ane to lose this m[D]uch.[Dmaj7] [D7]
Bridge:
Let all my [Em]red flags fade to wh[G]white, yeah, I give [D]up.
Don't let me l[Em]eave, I'll only t[G]ake more than I g[D]ave. Okay, I'll pack my stuff.
Here at the e[Em]nd of days,[G] my god, what hav[D]e I done?
Christ, now it f[Em]feels damn inhum[G]inhumane to get all I've dreamed [D]of. Woahhhh!
Outro:
[D]Keep coming back, it works if you work it
[D]So work it, you're worth it, it won't if you don't
One d[Em]ay at a time, tom[G]orrow's too late, a[D]men.
