Intro
[C] [E7/B] [Am] [C7/G] [F] [C/E] [Dm] [G4]
Verse 1
[C]Yours is an island of wild weeds and lush, tangled ground,
[E7]unbridled energy, [Am]all [C7]possibility.
[F]You pull yourself up on two feet that have not stood alone,
[C][Dm][G4][G]slowly and gingerly, reaching with toes.
Pre-Chorus
[Dm]It's hard, the way you look at me
[G]with a rage I cannot place.
[Am][Em][F]But I'm not the enemy,
[C][G]I'll carry you through your [Dm][G4]pain.
Chorus
[C]You can hide away, [Am]hold your heart at bay,
[Em]I know you wanna be [F]loved.
[C]Though life will come apart, break and unbreak your heart,
[Em][F][G]I will be like gravity, always true.
[Dm][G]I won't give up on you.
Interlude
[C] [E7/B] [Am] [C7/G] [F] [C/E] [Dm] [G4]
Verse 2
[C]For every two steps that go forward, there's one that crawls back,
[E7]these are the highs and lows, [Am][C7]those who have been here know.
[F]But that doesn't stop us from marching back into the mire,
[C][Dm][G4][G]insult to injury and we breathe fire.
Pre-Chorus
[Dm]It's hard, the way you look at me
[G]with a rage I cannot place.
[Am][Em][F]But I'm not the enemy,
[C][G]I'll carry you through your [Dm][G4]pain.
Chorus
[C]You can hide away, [Am]hold your heart at bay,

[C]Though life will come apart, break and unbreak your heart,
[Em][F][G]I will be like gravity, always true.
[Dm][G]I won't give up...
Bridge
[F]Our love's not a race, only one of us wins,
[Bb/F]I pushed you so hard not to quit or give in.
[Am]I look back now, past the anger and fear,
[D][Fm]you were suffering and you were all alone in it.
End-Chorus
[C]You can hide away, [Am]hold your heart at bay,
[Em]I know you wanna be [F]loved.
[C]Though life will come apart, break and unbreak your heart,
