Verse 1:

D  C  A  A#

I'm like the back door
Shut each window tight
from the front is the only way
that I could leave it all behind

I had to find you
I knew that it was time
and every creak in that staircase made me want
to change my mind


Change-up: F# C A A#


Verse 2:

D C A A#

The door flew open
pushing in the deep blues of the meriads
that the moments I remeber
every single word that you said

not knowing where you went
is like a letter sealed and never sent
but I kept searching ungrateful
for every failed attempt


Chorus:

F# C A A#

Tread light
on the ground beneath your feet
and go
trust you'll find what you need



Verse 3:

D C A A#

You always didn't like the edge
where water cut cold and fast
where once slammed by a jealous heart
go erase an entire past

We sat in silence
and for once is was enough for us both
more was said in that moment
than any words that I ever wrote



Refrain:

D C A C

These words fell from my lips
As easy as gospel music
you knew all along
what this journey would bring
