Bears In Trees - Cassiopeia

[Intro]
Ab Bb

[Verse 1]
Ab
You were talking on Zoom about women in Ancient Greece
Bb
Compared to the myths where they were represented
Ab Bb
I sat across from you reading Ulysses (I sat across from you reading Ulysses)
Ab
And whilst I try to project some intellect
Bb
I’m not convinced I knew what it all meant
Ab Bb
But I did know that the words were so pretty (I did know that the words were so pretty)
Ab
Woah
Bb
*unintelligable words*

[Chorus 1]
Ab Bb
I will give you my palm to help you walk through the hurtful
Fm Eb Bb
Want to give you that calm that you have so long searched for
Ab
Whilst I make space for all the parts of me
Bb
That I do not want, I let them be
Fm Eb Bb Ab
As minds twist through the fractured expanse of our being (expanse of our being)
Ab
We mend together gaze to Cassiopeia
Bb
We mend together gaze to Cassiopeia
Ab
We mend together gaze to Cassiopeia
Bb
We mend together gaze to Cassiopeia

[Verse 2]
Ab
And the rough our diamond was in seemed so rough
Bb
That no one bothered to start digging it up
Ab Bb NC
But we carved our own pickaxe from the rubble with our teeth (with our teeth)
Ab
Because life is beautiful but life is work
Bb
So full of joy, so full of hurt
Ab Bb
The starlight meets us in the dirt before I wake you with coffee and peace

[Chorus 2]
Ab Bb
I will give you my palm to help you walk through the hurtful
Fm Eb Bb
Want to give you that calm that you have so long searched for
Ab
Whilst I make space for all the parts of me
Bb
That I do not want, I let them be
Fm Eb Bb Ab
As minds twist through the fractured expanse of our being (expanse of our being)
Ab
We mend together gaze to Cassiopeia
Bb
We mend together gaze to Cassiopeia
Ab
We mend together gaze to Cassiopeia
Bb
We mend together gaze to Cassiopeia

[Bridge]
Ab Fm Eb Bb Ab
I hear the secret whisperings of the world
Fm Eb Bb
In the curves of all your bursts of laughter
Ab Fm Eb Bb
You are so beautifully so brutally out of comprehension
Ab Fm Bb
And how lonely I was in the before and after

[Chorus 3]
Ab Bb
I will give you my palm to help you walk through the hurtful
Fm Eb Bb
Want to give you that calm that you have so long searched for
Ab
Whilst I make space for all the parts of me
Bb
That I do not want, I let them be
Fm Eb Bb Ab
As minds twist through the fractured expanse of our being (expanse of our being)

We mend together gaze to Cassiopeia
