Outposts

C Em These bodies belong in a tangle of sense F C G An angle of shame a whiff of innocence F G C Am I kissed you at dawn, and you kissed me right back F G And we waited for the sun to show C Em You made a bad joke, sounded just like my dad F C G but looked like a kid in a big winter hat F G C Am And waited impatient for traffic to pass F G Said goodbye and stepped into the road G C What answers are found in the roads we go down? F C G What secrets do latitudes hold? Am Em No matter how tightly I hold on to you F G C We're all at these outposts alone C Em My deal came undone, my roots came all up F C G With connections asunder and friends far away F G C Am You wrote me a letter, I didn't write back F G I was too full of something to say C Em Yesterday's prayers sit in this morning's trees F C G They squabble like crows that won't ever know peace F G C Am Until suddenly risen as one they are gone F G Lifted like a black cloud to the sky G C What answers are found in the roads we go down? F C G What secrets do latitudes hold? Am Em No matter how tightly I hold on to you F G C We're all at these outposts alone Em F C Hallelujah I sing Em F Am Hallelujah I bring G F C G Words are so hard to say and so easy to mean C Em Inclement mix on an off-beaten path F C G I kissed you at dawn but you pulled away F G C Am And it's really alright and it's rarely ok F G Fix your eyes up ahead and move on G C What answers are found in the roads we go down? F C G What secrets do latitudes hold? Am Em No matter how tightly I hold on to you F G C We're all at these outposts alone
