[Verse 1]
Em
Back then I was dauntless and dawn could never know

And my weakness made me weep less than I would ever show you
    Cmaj7                                          Cm         Em
I’d burn so bright it blinded now I know that light guided me here


[Verse 2]
   Em
I walked into the river

To wring those embers from my broken heart and broken liver

You’ll never get your dinner if you don’t learn how to get along
     Cmaj7
And a fox somewhere is hiding
                                   Em
That light I thought was blinding brought me here


[Pre-Chorus]
   Cmaj7
I look into the waters
     D            Em
And see a face I don’t understand
       Cmaj7
Wе’re both unwanted daughters
            C                               Em
But thеre’s more than water in these autumn hands
  Cmaj7                    D                  Em
I look into the waters and see a face I don’t recognize

Who’s this
(Who are you)
      C
What changed I ask
    D
So strange, she replies


[Chorus]
              Em
Shoulder the sky
           Cmaj7
Open those eyes
           D       Em
There’s a kind of calling, calling.

Cmaj7 Em


[Verse 3]
      Em
Back then I wasn’t hopeful

But now my ink’s blood red not black

And I’ll blink like ripping envelopes

In the hopes that you’ll write back
             Cmaj7
And on the banks of that river

I shiver as a fox stands frozen
       Em
And I close them, I close them, I close my eyes


[Verse 4]

‘Cos I’m between that just one more and drank too much again

And I promise you I’ll write I love you

With my fingers on your sleeping hand
               Cmaj7
And when that fox howls I’ll howl with it
       C
In its cries I’ll find an end
            Em
And when I think I’m fine you’ll visit
                                                     Cmaj7
And then you happen to me, you happen to me all over again


[Pre-Chorus]
                 D                      Em
In the waters I see a face I don’t want look back
                C
Do you like my dress, it’s got pockets
     D                           Em
The rocks beneath my feet begin to crack

     Cmaj7
Oh I look into the waters
     D                                  Em
Long ago that current caught us and we tried

I tried I really fucking tried
        C
But the rain kept coming down
   D
I watch that woman drown


[Chorus]
              Em
Shoulder the sky
              (I can’t wait to show you How much I know you can be)
           Cmaj7
Open those eyes
              (Just let the rain come, Let the rain come)
           D       Em
There’s a kind of calling, calling.
(down, down, darling Can’t you hear it howling you)  It’s calling, calling   [4x Chorus]

        Em
In the rainfall
