[Intro]

A  Am
A  Fmaj7

[Verse 1]

A                        Am
Driving home I see those flooded fields
        A                    Fmaj7
How can people not know what beauty this is
     A                       Fmaj7
I've taken it for granted my whole life
          B7        Dm7     A
Since the day I was born

[Verse 2]

A                    Am
Clouds hang on these curves like me
      A
And I kneel to the wheel
Of the fox confessor 
    Fmaj7
On splendid heels
       A
And he shames me from my seat
    Fmaj7
And on my guilty feet
         B7       Dm7
I follow him in retreat

[Transition]

D  G

[Ending]

G
What purpose in these deeds
   Em
Oh fox confessor please
    G                            B7
Who married me to these orphaned blues
      C                            G
"It's not for you to know, but for you to weep and wonder
         G             Bm       C       G
When the death of your civilization precedes you."


[Break]
(so much going on here, and kind of a weird pattern...needs your input)

Am  Em  Am  A
C Em C Am

G

[Outro]

G                   B7
Will I ever see you again
              G 
Will there be no one above me to put my faith in
  G                       C          G
I flooded my sleeves as I drove home again
