Branches – The Inventors Daughter chords
Chords:
[Verse 1]EI fell for the inventor's daughterAWhen I chased my silver dollarB ADown the hill and onto her father's basement porchEI fell for her blurry eyesAWhen my tongue was numb and my shoes untiedBWith her hand held closed in the yellow lightAOn her father's basement porch[Chorus 1]BDown came her brother full of angry wordsA EAnd a fistful of problems yet to be heardA EAs he delivered to me all that he had learnedBAbout defending when you're scared[Verse 2]EAway she went tucked into his coatAWith her head turned back and her cheeks made roseBAs I lay there with my eyes half-closedAOn her father's basement porch[Verse 3]EI fell for the inventor's daughterAWith a cold washrag and a bloody collarBAnd a puffy smile and a head raised tallerAThan before I took his swingEI fell for her curious eyesAAnd her friendly hands left open wideBFor me to see what's been insideASince my coin first ran away[Chorus 2]BAnd she is like a stick laid downA EAnd a white flag torn from a wedding gownA E BIn a dress-up box from a childhood town in her father's memoryBAnd he is like a bulb made brightA EThat flickers when you just want it to stay lightA E BAnd every time that he thinks the night is looking his way[Verse 4]EI fell for the beggar's sonAIn the puddled porch with his shoes undoneBAnd the silver coin that had made him comeAInto the yellow light[Bridge]E ASo come on, come on, come on into the yellow lightE ASo come on, come on, come on into the yellow lightE ASo come on, come on, come on into the yellow lightE ASo come on, come on, come on into the yellow light[Interlude] [Bridge]E ASo come on, come on, come on into the yellow lightE ASo come on, come on, come on into the yellow lightE ASo come on, come on, come on into the yellow lightE ASo come on, come on, come on into the yellow lightE ASo come on, come on, come on into the yellow lightE ASo come on, come on, come on into the yellow lightE ASo come on, come on, come on into the yellow lightE ASo come on, come on, come on into the yellow light
