[Intro | fingerpicked, let strings ring, close mic breaths] [Bm] [G] [D] [A]
[Bm] [G] [D] [A] (ooh… mmm)
[Verse 1 | airy head voice, lazy phrasing, rasp the last word each line] [Bm] I keep my [G] phone face down, [D] but I still [A] look
[Bm] Like you might [G] crawl back out [D] of what you [A] took
[Bm] Your silence [G] got a pulse, [D] it knows my [A] name
[Bm] And I [G] play it like a [D] song I cannot [A] change (yeah)
[Pre Chorus | muted strum, chest voice grows, tighten rhythm] [Em] I got a [G] pretty mouth and a [D] rotten truth
[A] I say “it is fine” but it [Em] does not feel [G] true
[D] If you read my eyes, you will [A] find the [Bm] bruise
[G] I am all heat, [D] no light to [A] hold you to (mmm)
[Chorus | open strum, raspy chest with airy flips on ends] [G] So take what you [D] want, I been fading [A] out in the [Bm] glow
[G] I turned my [D] heart into fog, now it [A] lives in your [Bm] phone
[G] You keep me on [D] repeat like a [A] scar you never [Bm] show
[G] And I keep [D] bleeding in [A] quiet, real [Bm] slow (oh)
[Post Chorus | whisper, close mic, ghost harmonies] [Bm] I am a [G] thin line, [D] holding for a [A] second
[Bm] Then I [G] snap back down [D] where you [A] left it (ooh) (mm)
[Verse 2 | fingerpick returns, intimate, hypnotic, soft rasp on last word] [Bm] I learned how to [G] smile with my [D] lungs half [A] closed
[A] Like perfume on a [Bm] hoodie you [G] swear you never [D] stole
[A] I fold up my [Bm] pride into [G] paper birds, [D] let them [A] fly
[Bm] But they [G] circle the drain [D] like they do not [A] know why (damn)
[Bridge | half time, airy head voice, falsetto harmonies in parentheses] [Em] (ahh) If love is a [G] language, I am [D] missing the [A] sound
[Em] (ooh) I speak in [G] tremors, you hear it [D] watered down [A]
[Em] (mm) I try to be [G] water, but I [D] come out as [A] stone
[Bm] So when you hold me [G] close, I [D] cut you without [A] knowing (sorry) (sorry)
[Final Chorus | biggest, then strip to fingerpick on last 2 lines] [G] So take what you [D] want, I been fading [A] out in the [Bm] glow
[G] I turned my [D] heart into fog, now it [A] lives in your [Bm] phone
[G] You keep me on [D] repeat like a [A] scar you never [Bm] show
[G] And I keep [D] bleeding in [A] quiet, real [Bm] slow (yeah…) (mm)
[Outro | fingerpicked, airy head voice, fade, breaths audible] [Bm] I was a [G] prayer with no [D] mouth to be [A] spoken
[Bm] Just a [G] man with a [D] voice that stays [A] broken (ooh… mmm)
