[Verse 1]

       C
Oh, my heart
           Cmaj7
I love your beating
              C7
Your constant bleeding
                       F
Is keeping a-light the dark

            C
And when we part
               Cmaj7
From this dear meeting
              F
Don't take my needing
        G                C
Less of you to heart, my heart

           C
And oh, my lungs
            Cmaj7
I love your breathing
            C7
You kiss my singing
                 F
With healing and truth

            C
And when we cease
            Cmaj7
This burden bringing
              F
I hope you're leaving
       G              C
On the breeze enamors you


[Chorus]

F   G     C     
Oh, oh, I worry
            F
About these hands
G             C
With nothing to hold
              F
And these old feet
     G       Am
That always served me
             F
With so much soul
                G
Where will they go


[Verse 2]

       C
Oh, my mind
            Cmaj7       
I love your thinking
              C7
Your stories keep me reaching
            F
Even in my bed

               C
And when we've read
          Cmaj7
The final chapter
           F
I know our laughter will
         G                   C
Ring out after words and our stead


[Chorus]

F   G     C
Oh, oh, I worry
            F
About these ears
G               C
With nothing to hear
              F
And these two eyes
     G       Am
That saw the flurry
             F
Of all these years
                 G
Through all these tears


[Verse 3]

       C
Oh, my love
              Cmaj7
You're always giving
            C7
You keep me living
               F
And wishing to grow

            C
And when we go
          Cmaj7
This body breaking
            F
Despite our aching
      G            C
We'll make it back home
