Ithaca Chords

(ver. 1)
Redbird
[Intro]
C  Cmaj9/B  Am  F
C  Cmaj9/B  F

[Verse 1]
C           Cmaj9/B
We got the news
Am         F
Ithaca got snow
C      Cmaj9/B              Am  F
It was just that kind of day
C     Cmaj9/B                 Am
All I know is that you've gone
            F
And left us here below
C Cmaj9/B                      Am   F
All I wish is that you'd stay
C   Cmaj9/B                Am
We leave this cursed city
                F  C   Cmaj9/B  Am
In the same way we come in
                   F  C
We trace the roads
Cmaj9/B        Am     F
On our way out
            C           Cmaj9/B     Am
We shed our certainties like clothes

Am Cmaj9/B  F
Am Cmaj9/B   F

[Verse 2]
C          Cmaj9/B             Am     F
We thought this was our sacrifice
C       Cmaj9/B            Am    F
Cmaj9/But the world knew otherwise
C   Cmaj9/B        Am       F
And took you from us
            C
Cmaj9/Before your time
Cmaj9/B          Am    F
Right before our eyes
C        Cmaj9/B
We think we're walking home
Am                       F
Cmaj9/But you can't go there unless it wants you
C         Cmaj9/B
Stand out on the streets
    Am                    F
And still the destination haunts you
C             Cmaj9/B           Am
Is that where you are now?
        F                        C
To have believed that's true is love

any clearer now that we have love
Am                         
And we don't have you

Am Cmaj9/B   F
Am Cmaj9/B   F

[Verse 3]
C            Cmaj9/B                    Am   F
It took this much to make me see
C       Cmaj9/B        Am   F
Still I barely understand
C     Cmaj9/B       Am       F
Love will always, always be larger
C      Cmaj9/B            Am   F    C
And different from our plans
Cmaj9/B           Am
Love will never listen to us
    F
And why should it?
C Cmaj9/B        Am  F
Love knows the score
C  Cmaj9/B            Am     F
It builds better songs than we do
C          Cmaj9/B      Am
It sings a better metaphor
Am   Cmaj9  F
