Hozier - I, Carrion (Icarian)

[Intro]
C
If the wind turns, if I hit a squall
C/G
Allow the ground to find its brutal way to me

[Verse 1]
C/G Gadd11 F C/G
I feel lighter than I have in so much time
Gadd11
I’ve crossed the border line of weightless
F
One deep breath out from the sky
C/G Gadd11 F C/G
I’ve reached a rarer height now that I can confirm
Gadd11 F C/G
All our weight is just a burden offered to us by the world

[Pre-Chorus]
Gadd11 E7
And though I burn how could I fall?
Am7 Gadd11 F
When I am lifted by every word you say to me

[Chorus]
Dm Gadd11
If anything could fall at all, it’s the world
C/G
That falls away from me

[Verse 2]
C/G Gadd11 F C/G
You have me floatin’ like a feather on the sea
Gadd11
While you’re as heavy as the world
F C/G
That you hold your hands beneath
Gadd11 F C/G
Once I had wondered what was holdin’ up the ground
Gadd11 F C/G
I can see that all along, love, it was you all the way down

[Pre-Chorus]
Em F
Leave it now, I am sky-bound
Am7 Gadd11 F
If you need to, darling, lean your weight to me
We’ll float away,

[Chorus]
Dm Gadd11
but if we fall
I only pray, don’t fall away from me

[Interlude]
C/G Dm Gadd11
I do not have wings, love, I never will
Am7 C F
Soarin’ over a world you are carryin’
Dm Gadd11
If these heights should bring my fall
Am7
Let me be your own
C F
Icarian carrion

[Pre-Chorus]
Em Dm
If the wind turns, if I hit a squall
C Am7 Gadd11 F
Allow the ground to find its brutal way to me

[Chorus]
Dm Gadd11
If I should fall, on that day
C/G
I only pray, don’t fall away from me
