D              Cmaj7      D
So the priceless blue diamond is cursed,
       C        D
and we both got hurt.
      D            Cmaj7        D
Maybe I stand in a minefield of words,
      Cadd9     D  
but I asked you first.


[Chorus 1]
      Em      Bm                 G                G
Those early encounters, with the hurtful lies of kids.
                    D        D
I remember what you did
A7                     Bm             G                  G
Covered your arms in a curtain-shawl, bloodied your palms
               Em      Em
on the elementary wall.
                        D
If it seems too far, it is.


[Verse 2]
      D                Cmaj7     D
I was out there in the cradle of thorns
          C          D
when your fears took form.
        D              Cmaj7         D    
And the truth is maybe your fear's a wall.
         Cadd9    D
But it's not that tall.


[Chorus 2]
       Em          Bm           G            G
If you want me you show me in a most unusual way,
            D
In a most unusual way.
A7                  Bm          G            G
Under the eyes of a frozen lake I saw your fire,
                 Em        Em
and it served me not to wait.
                  D
But it hurt me all the same.

[Ending]
A7                  Bm                 G             G
You had to chase an electric storm and you had to wait
                Em          Em
for the violent wind to calm,
       D
and it carried you away.
