Returning To Myself - Brandi Carlile

Intro: D C G
 
Verse:
                     G
Is there some freewheeling watcher
                D
Shooting marbles in the sky?
                     C                           G
Holding your ears between their fingers
Watching it burn ʼtil the fire dies
                 G
Why is it heroic to untether?
             D
How is alone some Holy Grail?
              C                               G
And if we really come and Go unknown
                C
Couldnʼt I find myself in jail?
 
Chorus:
        D                        G
Oh, keeper how I love you
         C                        G
I love you and you and you
         D                   C                A                  C
And returning to myself is such a lonely thing to do
                                    G    D  C  G
But, itʼs the only thing to Do
 
Verse:
        G
Is it evolving, turning inward?
                    D
Oh, what an easy way to be
         C                          G
Only kneeling at the altar of
        A                        C
The great and mighty me
            G
Let me break myself apart instead
        D
And scatter to my birds
           C
Like a burial at sea
              C
To be the gospel without words
 
Chorus:
           D                           G
Oh, my darlings how I love you
           C                       G
I love you and you and you
            D                 C                 A                 C
And returning to myself is such a lonely thing to do
                                    G     D  C  D  G
But, itʼs the only thing to Do
 
Verse:
                  G
There is no honour in the pilgrimage
      C                  G
Until a soul returns
      C                   G
To hold anotherʼs hand
                             A             C
And then, and only then, it learns
        G
That life is like a stone
         D
Only skipping for a time
              C                         G
Oh, it never really holds its own
                C
Itʼll never see the other side
 
Chorus:
           D                      G
And I was born to love you
           C                        G
I love you and you and you
            D                 C                 D                 C
And returning to myself is such a lonely thing to do
        D              C                 A                  C
Retuning to myself is just, retuning me to you
                                          G    D  C  G
Thatʼs the only thing I wanna Do
