Verse 1:
Abm      Gb         B    E
I draw a line in my life
        Abm         Gb           B       E
Singing this is the new way I behave now
    Abm      Gb          B          E
And actually live by the shape of that sound
Abm           Gb            B   E
Circle in the back of my throat
Abm            Gb             B
Spinning in my head and on my pillow
Abm         Gb               B         E
Telling you things you don't need to know
Abm         Gb     B            E
Letting you know I trust you so much
Abm              Gb                 B      E
Then I'm looking at you through the lights
Abm        Gb              B        E
  A circle blinking in the tungsten
Abm       Gb    B       E
Wondering how I seem to you
   Abm         Gb        B           E
Forgetting the words I'm singing for you

Chorus:
Abm        Gb            B     E
  Am I forgetting how it felt?
Abm        B                  Gb     E
  You were sleeping with your rings on (rings on)
Abm      Gb           B       E
Cardinal wings in the early morning
Abm      Gb      B        E
  Waking up to a metaphor forming

Instrumental:
   Abm Gb B Gb B
   Abm Gb B

Abm        Gb         B    E
  I draw a line in my skin
Abm           Gb       B    E
  I'm pinning down inchoate meaning
Abm     Gb          B         E
Mark me right below the ampersand
Abm       Gb        B           E
Perforate line dry summer on my own land
Abm          Gb           B    E
Then it circulates around town
Abm         Gb               B     E
Do I double down because I'm stubborn?
    Abm    Gb     B            E
The needle on the phonographic sound
       Abm        Gb    B            E
You're digging it up as soon as it's drawn down

Chorus:
Abm        Gb            B     E
  Am I forgetting how it felt?
Abm    Gb              B         E
If you sing along do I remember?
Abm       Gb             B        E
Mark this feeling in the simplest shape
Abm    Gb      B      E
Let me finally let it fall away
