Intro:
   F C Bb F
   F C Bb

Verse 1:
F           C
 Out in the loading bay light
Bb            F
 Watching the fog recede
F            C                Bb
 Divided the flame you slowly gave to me
Gm         Dm
 Sign of relief in my mind
F           C
 But I only caught you the one time
Gm          Dm                       F           C
 Later I'd watch you and wonder what it was like

Pre-Chorus:
F           C                Bb
 How do you bear the full weight?
              F
 How does the long way feel?
F              C                 Bb
 Kneading your hand too tight against the wheel?
Gm           Dm
 How do you stay in that tower?
F            C
 How do you reckon your own power?
Gm            Dm             F       C
 How does the wheel not turn hour on hour on hour?

Chorus:
C      F
 I was trying to find my way
Bb     F
 I was thinking my mind was made
C             F                      Bb
 But you were making my heart change shape
     Bb
It's all that I could take
C      F
 I was trying to find my way
Bb     F
 I was thinking my mind was made
C             F                      Bb
 But you were making my heart change shape
     Bb
It's all that I could take

F              C                 Bb
 Kneading your hand too tight against the wheel?

 How do you stay in that tower?
F            C
 How do you reckon your own power?
Gm            Dm             F       C
 How does the wheel not turn hour on hour on hour?

C      F
 I was trying to find my way
Bb     F
 I was thinking my mind was made
C             F                      Bb
 But you were making my heart change shape
     Bb
It's all that I could take, now
C      F
 I was trying to find my way
Bb     F
 I was thinking my mind was made
C             F                      Bb
 But you were making my heart change shape
     Bb
It's all that I could take, now
C      F
 I was trying to find my way
Bb     F
 I was thinking my mind was made
C             F                      Bb
 But you were making my heart change shape
     Bb
It's all that I could take, now
