[Verse 1]
BI knew you were gone
F#Before any other
C#mF#Silent you slipped out the door
BI knew in my bones
F#It would be wrong to stop you
C#mF#I couldn’t keep you anymore
BYou were a surprise
F#Unlike any other
C#mBA gift from the stars and the moon
EI fell to my knees
BAgain and again
C#mF#overcome overwhelmed over you
[Chorus]
C#mI breathed I breathed
BI opened up my hands
EI tried my best to soften to the fear
C#mOh please oh please, no
Bsparrow at the window
Em7Still come the night you left us here
[Verse 2]
BGrief is a hawk
F#Flying over in circles
C#mF#Keeping her eyes on the ground
BSwift as an arrow
C#mShe’s pinned to my breast
F#BShe rises, I am empty now
[Chorus]
C#mSo breathe, oh breathe
BJust open up your hands
EBThere’s nothing left to hold now but the air
C#mIn dreamless sleep
BOh sparrow at the window
Estill come the night
Bcome find me there
