Capo 1st fret

Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

You are still burning

 The flame that is turning

 My smoldering ash into a bird

So stay close my brother

 I couldn’t stand the loss

 You are the bridge of action

I need you to help me cross

I need you to help me

Chorus

So when you break

My arms I’ll take hold of you

I know your hearts is a hand that takes hold of me

My hand that is breaking

 Is the hand that is making

 All the dead things in me grow

 A gift of a holy loss

 This burning at the dross

Chorus

So when you break

My arms I’ll take hold of you

I know your hearts a hand that takes hold of me

Bridge

 Why do you set out to break the one thing

 The one thing that I have to give

 Its hard to believe that I could

That I should begin again

But I know you heart is a hand

Chorus

So when I break

Your arms you’ll take hold of me

You know my hearts is a hand that takes hold of you

So when you break

My arms I’ll take hold of you

I know your hearts is a hand that takes hold of me

So when you break

My arms I’ll take hold of you

I know your hearts is a hand that takes hold of me
