Verse 1
[C]I find you [Dsus2]in the morning
[Em]After dreams of distant signs
[C]You pour yourself [Dsus2]over me
Like the [Em]sun through the blinds
[C]You lift me up and [Dsus2]get me out
[Em]Keep me walking but never shout
[C]Hold the secret [Dsus2]close
I hear you [Em]say
Chorus
[Em]You know the [Dsus]way it throws [C]about
It takes you in and spits you out
[Em]It spits you [Dsus2]out when you [C]desire
To conquer it, to feel you're higher
[Em]To follow [Dsus2]it you must be [C]clean
With mistakes that you do mean
[Em]Move the heart, [Dsus2]switch the pace
[C]Look for what seems out of place

Verse 2
[C]On and on [Dsus]it goes
[Em]Calling like a distant wind
[C]Oh, through the zero [Dsus2]hour we'll walk
[Em]We'll cut the thick and break the thin
[C]No sound to break, [Dsus2]no moment clear
[Em]When all the doubts are crystal clear
[C]Crashing hard [Dsus2]into the secret [Em]wind
Chorus
[Em]You know the [Dsus2]way it twists and [C]turns
Changing colour, spinning yarns
[Em]You know the [Dsus2]way it leaves you [C]dry
It cuts you up and takes you high
[Em]You know the [Dsus2]way it's painted [C]gold
Is it honey, is it cold?
[Em]You know the [Dsus2]way it throws [C]about
It takes you in and spits you out
