The Dirt

Bb Eb Gm Cm


[Verse 1]
Bb              Eb                  Gm Cm
The clouds came 'cause you were cold
Bb                 Eb                     Gm     Cm
And leaned into the wind to let it sway your bones
             Bb              Eb                 Gm
And how your ribcage took the weight of all that ache
         Cm                  Eb    Bb
And your heart got so damn heavy
            Gm
So dull and heavy


[Interlude]
Eb Bb Eb Gm Cm


[Verse 2]
Bb                  Eb                  Gm    Cm
You could close the windows 'cause that looks strong
Bb               Eb                Gm            Cm
Or lean into the panes and let the rains fall on you
        Bb       Eb
And you chose so fast
     Gm             Cm                   Eb
How did you move so fast with a heart so heavy?
Bb          Gm        Cm
So dull and heavy


[Chorus]
     Eb                                 Gm
Well remember how you told her you were sleeping below the dirt
Eb                                Gm
'Cause somebody told you just how bad they'd make you hurt?
           Eb                Cm         Bb                 Gm
They never said that but you felt it, so that was what you heard
Eb
Kendra, can we come home now?
       Bb                Eb   Gm Cm
How we live with what we learn

Bb Eb Gm Cm


[Verse 3]
Bb             Eb              Gm          Cm
The coast that caught you kept you moving along
Bb           Eb                    Gm            Cm
And you grew calm and you let your hair grow long
                     Eb      Bb
And then you took up swimming
                      Gm      Eb
So now you're fuckin' swimming
                   Bb        Gm Cm
Yeah baby, keep on swimming, oh whoa oh


[Bridge]
Eb   Gm  Bb
Forever now
Eb        Gm     Bb
Find your tether now
 Eb           Gm             Bb             Cm
Then write it down, write it down, write it down
Eb                           Gm
Put your feet back above the ground


[Chorus]
     Eb                                 Gm
Well remember how you told her you were sleeping below the dirt
Eb                              Gm
'Cause nobody told you just how badly this would hurt?
           Eb                 Cm            Bb             Gm
Yeah they said that you could hear it, for whatever that's worth
Eb
Kendra, can we come home now?
Cm
Can we hang up the phone now?
 Eb
Girl, are you coming home now?
        Bb               Eb
How we live with what we learn
