Standard tuning (EADGBe)
Key: Em
Intro (fingerpicked):
(x3)
I found you in a park
In a well-lit city summer
I heard your heart speed up
Like an infant full of wonder
(x2)
I will be my lake
And you will be your ocean
I'll hide in the Midwest
Far from your perpetual motion
(x2)
Our waters can never mix
I'm any port in a storm
Or any cliche in writer's block
The opinions that you form
You make me up when you talk
It's me, your terra cotta
A brittle pot ready to fall
But you won't see me nowhere
That is, until you
Call me terra cotta
A baked heart to overflow
But you won't see me nowhere
That is, until you go
You go
I'll be your well-worn jeans
We both know that you love me
But when you go outside
You throw a skirt above me
(x2)
I see your silhouette
Cracking on a storefront window
But this town's not for you
It's the kind of dirty only I know
(x2)
We're sediments caked in place
I'm any bird in the hand
Or any cliche in writer's block
Like every soldier man
You'll seal me under a rock
It's me, your terra cotta
A brittle pot ready to fall
But you won't see me nowhere
That is, until you
Call me terra cotta
A baked heart to overflow
But you won't see me nowhere
That is, until you go
Go
Go
Go
(x4)
It's me, your terra cotta
A brittle pot ready to fall
But you won't see me nowhere
That is, until you
Call me terra cotta
A baked heart to overflow
But you won't see me nowhere
That is, until you go
You go
Go!
Go!
(x2)
