Sway Ukulele

(ver. 1)
Voxtrot
Dm
I can take a road  Takes a little longer
F
Walk before the house where we had our games
Dm                    F                     Dm
Suffering life, play, making, we discovered fire 

Dm
People like you made me so much stronger
F
People like you made me question blame
Dm                       F                  Dm
Huddled in strength like birds on a sloping wire

Dm
Hearing your voice makes me so uneasy
F
Hearing your voice makes me question fame
Dm                            F         Dm
Money is deaf to the sound of a lover's cry

Dm
The language of loss made me so much older
F
The language of loss made me lose my grip
Dm                           F                   Dm                   
The language of loss made me silent as a newborn child

Dm
'cause everything moves in a shifting cycle
F
The unison soars and the pressure dips
Dm                  F                   Dm
Making our way steadfast in the skyward mile




Dm
And baby I know I will see you someday
F
Building your house on the very street
Dm                        F                       Dm
You severed your mother's life from your father's land

Dm
Finish your home we can join them this way
F
We talked about peace and a little dream
Dm                    F                Dm
Marriage and love and divorce we don't understand


            F/C        G
And you know I have to sway my leaves and branches slowly 
F          F             G
Out in the sun, like the silent shout of youth
           F/C       G
And we ask why do we take these leaps and chances
        F          F             G
Because we have no choice but to wither into truth

      F                F
And I dreamed you were there
        G    
All the vital signs were standing
       F                     F
When I dreamed you were with me
         G
With the summer at my back

      F                F
And I dreamed you were there
     G
So complete and undemanding
        F             F
We know the love that gives
            G
Is what the living always lack

            F/C        G
And you know I have to sway my leaves and branches slowly
F          F             G
Out in the sun, like the silent shout of youth
           F/C       G
And we ask why do we take these leaps and chances
        F          F             G
Because we have no choice but to wither into truth
