Gabby’s World - Winter Withdraw

              F#          B        G#m       C#m
At the black center of my thoughts I plead
   E         A          E   A
“Winter, withdraw,” and I decide
      F#    B         G#m        C#m
I’ll boldly no longer feel the deep cold
     A            F#
I’ll only look to you
E       A     E      A
Do you even look at me?
           E        A           E             A
What would we even be if not a part of this city?


     F#       B        G#m       C#m
Entangled in deep tunnels that lead
 A                           F#
to the deadbolt lock of our hovering box
      E         A     E         A
The light refracted again and again
           E         A
With the brightest tension
     E       A              E           A
The fifth dimension folded back with loaded guns
              E               A      F#
Revealed its pact and pointed down vowed we'd dance
     E       A         E        A
So holding breath and holding hands
      E          A            E       A
Its splitting breadth and scathing rants
      F#                     A
that pull and stretch at what we'd deepened


         F#           B            G#m    C#m
And when all that we built threatens to spill
       A                     F#
in a puddle on the tracks, sleepy stranger staring back
        E          A
What a clumsy refraction
        E           A
What an awkward expansion
        E            A
Quite a sight to be seen
            E        A          E              A
When what you were expecting a girl of nine reflected
           E             A         F#
Placed a skirt upon her head and said
          E          A
“Now a woman I'll precede
          E           A
Flowing hair, flow behind me
          E          A
From the glowing inside
              E        A
Through the growing divide
            F#      
Will you please provide
     A                 E
A cloudy feeling I can ride?"
