       Arrows




Tuning: E A D G B E
 
[Intro]
E  E  A  E
 
 
[Verse 1]
               E
Heavy were the nights
                    E
When the fire burnt low
                A
I was moving in circles
                   E
Waiting for you to show
             E
Thinking too fast
                  E
Trying to breathe slow
                A
Longing for the handle
               E
To turn on the door
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]
    B              C#m              A                      E
And every sign you passed along the way looked twisted and burnt
     B           C#m             A             E
With messages in languages you’d never seen or heard
        D
But you drove on anyway
 
 
[Chorus]
    B   C#m B A
And oh, now,
         E             B
all of a sudden you’re here
    A E    B           C#m           B             A
And I can't remember a time when you weren't, it’s true
  E      B            C#m     B          A               B      E  Esus4 Esus2 Esus4  E
I had to believe that all the signs were arrows pointing you to me
 
 
[Instrumental]
E  E  A  E
 
 
[Verse 2]
                E
Steady were the wheels
            E
Under every bus
          A
Chasing a horizon
            E
Nobody ever touched
             E
Singing into lights
               E
Questions over chords
               A
Hearing not an answer
                   E
But the silence of applause
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]
    B            C#m                 A           E
And every hand I tried to hold would fit there a while
     B              C#m         A               E
Till one of us grew tired of pretending it felt right
        D
But the emptiness would burn
     C               (B)                   Am          (G)   (F#) E
It's hard to make yourself leave space for someone that may never emerge
 
 
[Chorus]
    B   C#m B A
And oh, now,
         E             B
all of a sudden you’re here
    A      E    B           C#m           B             A
And I just can't remember a time when you weren't, it’s true
  E      B            C#m     B          A               B      E  Esus4 Esus2 Esus4  E
I had to believe that all the signs were arrows pointing you to me
E
They were pointing you to me
 
 
[Instrumental]
A  B  C#m  D#m  E  B
A  B  C#m  B
 
 
[Bridge]
A               B
Every door that hit my face
C#m        D#m E           B
Every heady scent I chased
A                 B
Every oil-slicked mountain road
C#m           D#m E              B
Every blackened tear that soaked
A             B
Every twisted shouted word
C#m      D#m E          B
Every god I never heard
A              B
Every smile he yanked from me
C#m         D#m E       A    B   C#m
Every light I could not see…
 
 
[Outro]
    B             A
I'm thinking it's true
                          F#m
That all those signs were arrows
B              E    Esus4 Esus2 Esus4  E
Pointing me to you…
