Parachute - Caroline Polachek
Tuning: Standard, E A D G B E
[Verse 1]
Awake from a d
ream
One that start
ed as a nightm
are
Like a war so
extreme
It erased itse
lf from memory
Here's where I
jumped
From the aerop
lane without q
uestioning it
The curve of t
he coast of Lo
s Angeles
Spreading itse
lf below
[Chorus]
And blooming o
verhead, the p
arachute
I've got to tr
ust it now, oh
[Verse 2]
Change in the
wind
And I'm drifti
ng from the cr
escent
Pulled farther
out
From the shore
than where I
can swim to it
[Chorus]
And blooming o
verhead, the p
arachute
I've got to tr
ust it now, oh
[Outro]
Closing in on
the sparkle of
the waves
Go on, take me
, it will feel
like going ho
me
Go on, take me
, I'm not afra
id to drown
What is this,
pulling me bac
k the other wa
y
To strip malls
, highways, an
d treetops
Landing on the
soft ground
