Stop Singing Cifras

[Verse 1]
      G                           A
The possibility that if I stopped clapping
   Bm
My hands in the void
        C#m                    F#m
I would notice that I can't hold on to things
         G                           A
And the possibility that if I stopped bellowing
   Bm
My voice in the void
        C#m                    F#m
I would notice songs that, all around me, sing

Arp. 4
 
[Verse 2]
           Arp. 1
Looms in weather
                Arp. 2
Lives buried in my days
                             Arp. 3
With all my songs and rhythms going
                                Arp. 4
Like the darkness surrounding a flame

[Verse 3]
            Em                Bm
It's what I don't say with my mouth
        G                          A
It's my mouth opening to breathe in
         F#m
It's open windows in the wall
            Em           Bm
Still, I go on and on describing the shape
  G                A               F#m
Around the thing I want to but can not name
                  Em          Bm
I go on and on in song, after song
      G               A
After song, after song
               F#m
And, though my long life feels busy
               F#m
And full of usefulness and drive
      Em                   Bm
I will sleep through every single dawn
    G             A               F#m
And those I see I will not really comprehend
      Em                  Bm
I will sing through every single song
  G                 A              F#m
About the spaces left when we stop singing
        F#m
And I will do this with longing
