Solitary Daughter

	  		
Intro: A 

verse 1 
A                                                
With the conviction of the woman you made me, 

I find 
A                                                 
Blades of grass from the island you lent me, 

I find 
E               D 
On every floor, in every drawer 
A                                                 
Though I'm not an island, I'm a body of water 
A                                                 
Jeweled in the evening, a solitary daughter 
E                     D 
If picked at by noon, by midnight I'm ruined 


 
Bm                                        A 
Leave me alone to the books and the radio snow 
E                                                 A 
Leave me alone to the charcoal and the dancing shadow 



verse 2 
A                                                 
If each blade of grass was meant here for me 
A                                                 
Split apart, sliced, and wedged in for me 
E                     D 
Who's gonna treat it? I'm not going to need it 



Bm                                        A 
Leave me alone to the books and the radio snow 
E                                                 A 
Leave me alone to the charcoal and the dancing shadow 

A 
I am a lake, I don't need to be watered 
A 
I am an ocean, I don't need to barter 



Interlude 
E 
I play with the moon, my only friend 
A 
It pushes it pulls me, I don't pay rent 
Asus 
I don't need the walls to bury my grave 
A 
I don't need your company to feel saved 
E 
I don't need the sunlight, my curtains don't draw 
A 
I don't need objects to keep or to pawn 
Asus 
I don't want your pity, concern, or your scorn 
A 
I'm calm by my lonesome, I feel right at home 
E 
And when the wind blows I get to dancing 
A 
My fun is the rhythm of air when it's prancing 

                    -repeat- 
Outro 
Bm                                        A 
Leave me alone to the books and the radio snow 
E                                                  A 
Leave me alone to the charcoal and the dancing shadow
