Grateful
G - D - Am
(3x) - G - Am
D Am D Am
1. Ours is just another skin that simply slips away
D Am D Am
you can rise above it, it will shed easily.
C D C D
It all will come out fine,
I've learned it line by line.
G D Am G D Am
One common wire, one silver thread,
G D Am G Am
all
that you desire, rolls on ahead.
D
Am D Am
2. Like a ship in a bottle held
up to the sun,
D
Am
D
Am
sails ain't going nowhere, you can
count every one.
D Am D Am
Until it
crashes unto the earth and simply slips away,
D
Am D Am
you can hide in the open or just disappear.

3.Ours
is just a craving and a twist of the wrist
D Am D Am
will undo the stopper with abrupt tenderness.
D Am D Am
Die little
sparrow and awake singing.
