Radical Face - Holy Branches Chords

Holly Branches - Radical Face

Intro, Em, G, D, A 
              Em
When you were young
                G
You'd bite your tongue
D                              A
Calm, always did what you were told
               Em
Never ran your mouth
              G
Lived life on tiptoes
D                     A
Only felt peace if by yourself
                    Em
When mistakes don't count
          G            D
There's a hole in your chest
                            C
                   Em
One that don't get filled
                     G                         D    /Dsus4/D/Dsus4
'cause you've always known you're nothin' they want

Refrain:
                Em            A     C
But everybody's bones are just holy branches
          D                              Em
Cast from trees to cut patterns into the world
       A                 C
And in time we find some shelter
          D                            Am
Spill our leaves and then sleep in the Earth
               C           
And when we're there we'll belong
           D                                 Em
'cause the Earth don't give a damn if you're lost

Em, G, D, Am    x2 
ooo..ooo..ooo

Em         G
Now I live alone
D                    A
Working the belly of machines
                    Em
Wring my soot-black hands
                  G
And I don't sleep much
D               
Days don't feel different
         A
                 Em
With no goals in mind

          G          D
There's a hole in my chest
                       C
                Em
One I fill with sweat
         G                     D   /Dsus4/D/Dsus4
So now I know I'm nothin' they want


Refrain:
                Em             A     C
But everybody's bones are just holy branches
          D                              Em
Ride the breeze to cut patterns in the leaves
       A                 C
And in time we find some shelter
          D                            C
Spill our seeds and then wait for our turns
        Em           G                  D
But for now we're adrift on the waves of discontent
                    C
Trying to carve our place
       Em                           D
All in hopes we'll be something they want
                       Em
But I'm not holding my breath

Em, G, D, Am    x2 
ooo..ooo..ooo



A          C               A
Trace your fingers down my spine
A         C              A
Make your home behind my eyes
A       C                   D
Line my skull with harmless lies
             C              D              Em
I'll bide my time until I'm something they want
