a billion bees chords by Kevin Devine
Skip chords and lyrics
Verse 1
(D major) I found you grieving in the grass
Sky blood water color blue (Esus4)
You seem so simple sure and sad (A major)
So I sat down to grieve with (G major) you (D major)
You raised your hand to shield your eyes
I shifted left to block the sun (Esus4)
You crossed your leg (E minor)
(Esus4) s and cleared your throat (A major)
I waited for you words
to come (G major) (D major)
But they slept soundly in
your chest
They never made it past your (Esus4) tongue
So we sat silently and still (A major)
We thought about the things
wed (G major) done (D major)
And all the people that we loved
And all the people that we (E minor) wronged (Esus4)
I watched the years flash
through your (A major) face
Locked my anger in your (G major) lungs
(D major) So every breath stung more and more
A wave of wips across my (Esus4) spine
A billion bees trapped in my (A major) chest
Nails on chalk (G major) board every time
(D major) 'Til I watched your fingers
sneak towards mine
I heard your breath go thing and (Esus4) short
I tucked your hair behind
your (A major) ears
And watched your eyes dart back (G major) and forth
(D major) I sucked your lip and bit your neck
The trees were shaking
at their (Esus4) roots
My angry arms fell cool (A major) and calm
My cotton mouth was well with (G major) you
(D major) So we lay glowing in the grass
To watch the sun swamp with the moon (Esus4)
Trade our future for our (A major) past
Present tense was all we knew (G major)
a billion bees
