Palace

F#m E D A

[Verse]
         F#m
You were simpler,
         E               D                   A
you were lighter when we thought like little kids.
       F#m                   E
Like a weightless, hate-less animal,
            D                         A
beautifully oblivious before you were hid
         F#m               E
inside a stranger you grew into,
        D               A
as you learned to disconnect.
       F#m                E
Now he hangs your mirrors separately,
             D                          A
so one can’t show you what the other reflects.

F#m E D A

[Verse]
     F#m            E
When he heard I was on his tail, he
D               A
emptied your account
          F#m                    E
and hid a part of you that’s so invaluable
                   D                A
(the part of you unsellable at any amount).
            F#m                  E
He left the tallest peak of your paradise
              D                     A
buried in the bottom of a canyon in hell,
      F#m                               E
but I swear I’ll find your light in the middle,
                                 D                            A
where there’s so little late at night, down in the pit of the well.
          F#m                          E
Then when heaven has a line around the corner,
                     D                           A
we shouldn’t have to wait around and hope to get in
          F#m                     E
if we can carpenter a home in our heart right now
            D           A
and carve a palace from within.
                 F#m           E
We won’t need to take a ton of pictures,
            D          A
It won’t be easy to believe
           F#m           E                 D            A
the day we wake inside a secret place that everyone can see.
