The Younger One

G                               Em
As soon as their words all came out
Am                                           B
it felt just like the walls that you’d spent so long tearing down
        C                            D7
so you hid inside a closet made of gowns
G                                     Em
walking on that line makes you feel stuck
Am                                      B
its so hard when you grow pretty before you grow up
              C                                         D7
because you never quite have time to find out what you want

               C            B         Em
but there is love in your hands, you only have to take out them
      C             D7              G
and never use them as a shield again

G   Em   Am   B
C   D

G                               Em
a cross hangs around your neck so loose
Am                                             B
and though it brings you life, sometimes it feels just like a noose
     C                          D7
but god is not disappointed in you
    G                                  Em
but love and beauty haunt you in your dreams
     Am                               B
and fish turn into whales in front of me
       C                                  D7
as we try to find the depth of this whole sea

C                  B      Em
heaven comes in waves, some days you’re drowning some days you’re saved
          C                               D7   G
but it always feels like swimming either way.
