I, Carrion (Icarian)

If the wind turns, if I hit a squall

Allow the ground to find its brutal way to me

[Primeira Parte]

C       G              F               C
 I feel lighter than I have in so much time
                 G
I've crossed the borderline of weightless
         F                   C
One deep breath out from the sky
               G                F              C
I've reached a rarer height now that I can confirm
        G                               F            C
All our weight is just a burden offered to us by the world

[Refrão]

             Em              E7
And though I burn, how could I fall?
          Am        G              F
When I am lifted by every word you say to me
      Dm                  C             G
If anything could fall at all, it's the world
            C
That falls away from me

[Segunda Parte]

C            G               F              C
 You have me floatin' like a feather on the sea
                G
While you're as heavy as the world
         F                 C
That you hold your hands beneath
           G                 F              C
Once I had wondered what was holdin' up the ground
      G                                F               C
I can see that all along, love, it was you all the way down

[Refrão]

         Em            E7
Leave it now, I am sky-bound
       Am       G                  F
If you need to, darling, lean your weight to me
             Dm             G
We'll float away, but if we fall
                         C
I only pray, don't fall away from me

[Ponte]

     Dm                      G
I do not have wings, love, I never will
        Am     C         F
Soarin' over a world you are carryin'
         Dm                      G
If these heights should bring my fall
               Am
Let me be your own
 C      F
Icarian carrion

[Final]

       Em               E7
If the wind turns, if I hit a squall
          Am        G               F
Allow the ground to find its brutal way to me
            Dm            G
If I should fall, on that day
                         C
I only pray, don't fall away from me
