Intro: D

Verse:
D
The greener grass grows where the wildfires fertilize,
D                                                          Em                 G
With ashes of sparrows, peppered moths, and butterflies. Ghosts of trees and termites
          D
bloom in the beanstalk.


D
And if you get lightheaded when standing too fast, is it from
D                                                    Em                       G
shaking out the weight of phosphenes and past salt deposits, on warm little rivers,
                     D
that burst from our words.

Pre-chorus:
     A                G                     D
And god knows crying ain't gonna change a thing.
     A                      G                D    Dmaj7 D7
She said "take care" but I take more than I bring.

Chorus:
               G                                 D
She said, "It just feels inhumane to lose this much.
                 Em                 G                    D
'Cause when you leave you know you take more than your love."
           G                             D
Wake up in a cicada daze, we're losing touch.
               Em             G                 D
And I know it just feels inhumane to lose this much.

Interlude: Em G

Verse:
D
Our nerves were braided under ceiling stars, that were all
D
glow in the dark, hanging over queen-sized
 Em              G                          D     Em  G
purple waves of ancient chemicals. Just whisper.


D
Did you ever build with those endangered bones? Well the
nc                           D7            Em  G
ground looks soft enough to bury this now. Ohhhh,
           D  Dmaj7 D7
Please, oh no.

Pre-chorus:
               A              G                D
And then my sponsor said "Do nothing. Nothing works."
        A                 G              D        Dmaj7 D7
And my doctor said "Don't do that if it hurts."

Chorus:
               G                                 D
She said, "It just feels inhumane to lose this much.
                 Em                 G                    D
'Cause when you leave you know you take more than your love."
           G                             D
The seasons of cicada days we can’t make up
               Em             G                 D   Dmaj7 D7
And I know it just feels inhumane to lose this much.

Bridge:
           Em                  G                 D
Let all my red flags fade to white, yeah, I give up.
              Em               G                D
Don't let me leave, I'll only take more than I gave. Okay, I'll pack my stuff.
             Em         G                D
Here at the end of days, my god, what have I done?
           Em             G                 D
My God it feels damn inhumane to lose this much. Woahhhh!

Outro:
D
Keep coming back it works if you work it
D
So work it you're worth it it won't if you don't
     Em               G                  D
One day at a time, tomorrow's too late, amen.
