[Verse 1]
    C
Sit close, let me tell you every truth I know
F                           C
I could read you poetry and prose
                              Fmaj7
We could contemplate the syllables
                   E7
If you so wish for it
 
   C                                        Fmaj7
If so, let your consciousness dissolve like snow
Em                                C
Watch the branches replicate your bones
                                    Fmaj7
Place the precious palms among your own
       F             Em             Dm7
Be the water and the boat, and so I stow
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]
                               Em7
Every thought that lies inside of me
                             Dm    F
Atop the shelves amidst my library
                                Dm
So, when you're older you may visit me
Em       F  G
When I’m at peace
 
 
[Chorus]
C
Patiently I'll reach up above
              Fmaj7
I can see the ocean as I stare at the stars
C
I will place my knowledge in your hands
             Fmaj7
It's okay if you don’t understand just yet
 
 
[Verse 2]
      C
Speak slow let me ask before I take a note
 
May I read a couple words you wrote?
               F                 C
Every page you touch the letters glow
           F                     C
From the ashes do we grow? and I boast
 
                               Fmaj7
I can comprehend the words you spoke
F                                         Dm7
You're the writer and the quote and now I hope
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]
                                  Em7
Every thought that lies inside of me
                                   Fmaj7
Someday finds its way from soul to speech
F                    Dm7
So, I may bestow a legacy
Em       F  C
Like you to me
 
 
[Chorus]
C
Patiently I'll reach up above
               Fmaj7
I can read the ocean as I write with the stars
C
I will place your knowledge in my hands
                           F       C
Flick a page until I understand, I do, oh
 
 
[Bridge]
F              C
Like trying to speak while remaining in silence
                                            Dm7
Like facing your fears without feeling frightened
                                  C
I'll never know if I'm yet to try it, oh no-o-o
 
 
[Chorus]
N.C.
Patiently I'll reach up above
N.C.
I can see the ocean as I stare at the stars
N.C.
I will place my knowledge in your hands
N.C.
Flick a page until I understand, I do, oh
 
 
[Chorus]
C
Patiently I'll reach up above
               Fmaj7
I can read the ocean as I write with the stars
C
I will place your knowledge in my hands
                           F           C
Flick a page until I understand, I do, oh
