Lost Wisdom Chords

Standard (EADGBE)

G♯m I got close enough to the river that I couldn't hear the trucks

 But not F♯close enough to stop the roaring of my mind

 These G♯mrocks don't care if I live or die

 EveryF♯one I know finally turned away

 I will G♯mconfuse and Edisinterest allC♯m posteritBy

 Lost G♯mwisdom

 Is a quiet Eecho

 Lost G♯mwisdom

 By the edge of the F♯stream at dusk

 Is a quiet Eecho

 On D♯mloud wind

With one hand in the water running cold and clear

Fog obliterates the morning and I don't know where I am

The heart is pounding and you are always on my mind

Lost wisdom

Is a quiet echo

Lost wisdom

A boulder under the house

I used to know you

Now I don't

The screaming wind said my name, I think, significant and dark

My lost face in the mirror at the gas station

Who are you above my face that I wake up with alone?

Lost wisdom

Approaching shape in the low light

You thought you knew me

You thought our house was home

I thought I knew myself

I thought my heart was calm

Thunder, lightning, tidal wave

The wind blew down the door

Lost wisdom

The river goes through the room

I saw your picture out of nowhere

And forgot what I was doing

Everything vanished in your eclipse

A constellation of moments comes to life in the void

Lost wisdom

Face down under the moss

Enraptured by the beautiful face in the billowing flames

I open the front and back door and let the wind blow through

And I stood in the house and tried to hold the breeze

Lost wisdom

Waking up in a pile of ash

Secret knowledge

Comes to me in the dusk

It showed me the river

I saw me
