Verse 1
(A minor) (G major)
(E minor) (A minor) I know, leaving's your living,
(G major) built in your bones
No one can ever escape
(E minor) all of their ghosts
So if you walk,
you better learn how to run (F major)
That's why I wrote this (A minor) song
Your contrail's coated (E minor) in broken homes
Verse 2
(G major)
You polished (E minor) up this pretty
pearl of a hope
That I won't parade your skeletons
for every (F major) one
That's why I wrote this (A minor) song
That's why I (E minor) wrote this song (that's why I

That's why I wrote this song (that's why
I (E minor) wrote this song)
That's why I wrote this song
(that's why I wrote this song)
I know (F major) you know the word (G major) s,
so (A minor) sing along
Verse 4
She always made the best
of deaf and blind
Fashionable dress of canes an (G major) d signs
Tracing their apparel,
like a judge of character in (E minor) Braille
She never missed a lift,
a bump or a line
But fingertips will (F major) drift and miss
blip from time to time
Verse 5
And this is how we find
(A minor) Secrets that slipped our grip
Over wit and charm
on whispered (G major) breath
Frantically fishing for
familiarness on fingertips
And (E minor) this is just, shit, what is this? (F major)
This is redress
Verse 6
I know her (A minor) cane is just a comedy
Tin cup's a crutch for crippled honesty
(G major) Her slain perception's lame
deception
What's astonishing, we (E minor) bought it, see
Every Harry, Dick, and Tom,
left her (F major) very fickle palms
Palming a broken promise
ring, you (A minor) follow me?
Verse 7
A hundred strong men choked on a bit (G major)
While the blind bride guides
the bridle toward the abyss (E minor)
And this can only end wrong
But (F major) motherfuck it, that's the
(G major) reason why I wrote this song
(C major) I
Verse 8
(A minor) know leaving's your living,
built in your bones (G major)
No one can ever escape all
of their ghost (E minor) s
So if you walk,
you better learn how to run (F major)
That's why I wrote this (A minor) song
Verse 9
Your contrail's coated in broken homes (G major)
You polished up this pretty
pearl of a hope (E minor)
That I won't parade your skeletons
for every (A minor) one (F major)
That's why I wrote this (A minor) song
Lionel Terray said it the truest, (G major) I set
Verse 10
it to music
We're all "Conquistadors
of the Useless"
What (E minor) kind of fool is so (E major) stupid to climb
(E minor) a mountain to do it
Then climb (F major) back down to the town
without a picture to prove (C major) it?
I knew (A minor) it
Verse 11
From the moment I saw your eyes flash wide in the crowd
(G major)
That you would cut and run, it's too
late to turn back now (E minor)
It's when those burnt black cloud (A minor) s
submerge the (F major) Earth in shroud
That king (G major) s earn that (A minor) crown
Verse 12
And this is how we rise by taking a fall (G major)
Survive another winter on straight
to the thaw (E minor)
One day you'll learn to strain
the tea through your teeth (F major)
And maybe find the strength
to proceed to the peak
Verse 13
Press (A minor) on into the thin again
till I cannot breathe
(F major) I swallowed (G major) so much of my damn
pride (F major) that it chokes me
The real (E minor) risk is not a slipped grip
at the edge of the peak (A minor)
The real danger is just to linger
at the (G major) base of the thing
(A minor) I
Verse 14
know leaving's your living,
built in your bones (G major)
No one can ever escape all
of their ghost (E minor) s
So if you walk,
you better learn how to run (F major)
That's why I (C major) wrote this (A minor) song
Verse 15
Your contrail's coated in broken homes (G major)
You polished up this pretty
(E minor) pearl of a hope
That I won't parade your skeletons
for every (F major) one
That's why I wrote this (A minor) song
Verse 16
That's why I wrote this song (that's why I wrote this (G major)
song)
That's why I wrote this song (that's why I
wrote this (E minor) song)
That's why I wrote this song
(that's why I wrote this song)
I know (F major) you know the words, so sing along
