Kintsugi

There's a certain point 
        D 
The body can't come back from 
   A 
In one year, we've learned 
      D 
The turn of the mouth 

      D 
The depth that the chest cavity takes 
  A 
Chuck was there for three out of three 
D 
I was there for the third 'cause I couldn't be 
E 
There for the one who was closest to me 

                                        D 
But I can't say I'd run when things get hard 
                        E 
It's just that I don't trust myself with my heart 
       D 
But I've had to let it break a little more 
            F#m/E 
'Cause they say that's what it's for 

                 D           E 
That's how the light shines in 
                 F#m 
That's how the light shines in 
                D           E  D 
That's how the light gets in 

( A  G ) 

     D                            E 
So everyone was there, they were standing and laughing 
     A          G#m           F#m            E 
And I'm on the side with my tears streaming down 
           D                  E 
There's something about the clutch of the wrist 
      A             G#m       F#m          E 
He thought mine was his to carve into his mouth 
D 
We've only got hours 

       D                    E 
And I just can't stop crying 'cause all of the ways 
          A             G#m 
When you see someone dying 
     F#m          E             D 
You see all your days flash in front of you 
                     A                G#m  F#m  E 
And you think about who would be with you 
                    D          E 
And then there's Donoghue 

( A  G#m  F#m  E  D  E )

Daddy, I miss them 
              D 
I'm in the mountains 
              C#m 
I'm probably running away from the feelings I get 
         E                 F#m 
When I think of all the things about them 

          F#m 
Daddy, I miss them 
              D 
I'm at the Roadrunner Café 
              C#m 
I'm probably running away from the thoughts in the day 
         E 
I had things to do with them, but they say 

                D            E 
That's how the light gets in 
                D 
That's how the light gets in 
                F#m          E 
That's how the light gets in 

    D                     E 
Think by the 3rd of March, I was cracked open 
A            G#m            E 
Finally the ground was cold, they wouldn't open 
D                                 E                 A   G#m 
Brought by the sunlight of the spirit to pour into rain 
           F#m        E         D               E 
There's a name for it in Japanese, it's kintsugi 

A                G#m          F#m 
They sang folk songs from the 40s 
E            D                           E 
Even the fourteen-year old knew Froggie Came A-Courtin' 
A          G#m        F#m          E 
How do my blood relatives know all of these songs? 
D                    E                         A G#m 
I don't know anyone left to know songs that I sing 

( F#m  E ) 

                 D         E 
That's how the light gets in 
                G           D 
That's how the light gets in 

( D  E ) 

       A 
But, daddy, I miss them 
               D 
I'm at the Roadrunner Café 
           C#m 
Probably running away from the feelings today 
         E                            F#m 
In the snow-capped mountains of the desert 

           F#m 
Daddy, I miss them 
            D 
I'm in the mountains 
            C#m 
Probably running away, I've been meaning to say 
                E                   F#m 
That there's nothing to do except know that this is 
         F#m 
How the light gets in 
        E           D 
Like cracking, the light gets in 
              F#m 
It's how the light gets in 
                 D 
That's how the light gets in 
                D 
That's how the light gets in 
              F#m    E D     E F#m  E D 
Then you're golden, ah-ah-ah, ah-ah, oh 
              D             E 
Just another folk song, but anyway 
    A     G#m       F#m       E 
I try so hard, but that's okay 
              D            E 
It's how the light gets in 
              G    F#m 
It's how the light gets in 
              F#m E   G   F#m 
It's how the light gets in
