Until I'm out of breath for trying

And in the (B major) middle of the
flood I felt my worth
When you held onto me like I

God's own tears
And spread out into shapes
like salad bowls
And basins (E major) and buckets
for bailing out the flood
Verse 21
As (B major) motionless cars rust on
driveways (E major) and curbs
You take (B major) off your raincoat and

The sheer (B major) force of sky and the
cold (E major) magnet earth
