Speaking Confidentially

Am       F     G     Em
Speaking confidentially
F             Dm     Em
The fire that burnt inside of me
Am            F        G       Em
Has turned to ash the tortured tree
F          Em         Dm        Em
That grows beside the anguished sea

Am F G Em   F         Dm   Em

[Verse 2]
Am       F    G      Em
Speaking metaphorically
F           Em      Dm       Em
The earth I trust beneath my feet
Am        F       G       Em
Is moving now ever so slightly
F           Em      Dm       Em
I shift my feet but feel no relief

[Verse 3]
Am       F    G      Em
Speaking hypothetically
F       Em      Dm                Em
If the air you breathed was so unique
Am        F             G    Em
Would you use it up to idly speak
F        Em       Dm     Em
Or horde it for a rainy week

[Break]
Am F G Em   F         Dm   Em
            Speaking hypothetically


[Verse 4]
Am       F         G      Em
Speaking kind of cryptically
F           Em      Dm         Em
The sea that raged beside the tree
Am      F          G      Em
Burning bright for all to see
F            Em        Dm     Em
It just might mean the most to me
Am F G Em   F         Dm      Em
            Speaking kind of cryptically
