[verse 1]
        D#sus2           D#
I could never build the ether,
       D#sus2     D#
or the grass overgrown
        G#/C             Cm
I could never build the river
       G#/C           Cm
with a mouth full of foam
        Fm7
I could never built the winter
         A#7sus4        A#7sus4
with her cold tears of glitter
          D#sus2            D#
I've been listening to the red oak,
     D#sus2        D#
 the acorn she cries
G#/C              Cm
Listening to the white birch,
    G#/C       Cm
the paper she dries
          Fm7
I've been listening to the frog's joke,
A#7sus4
listening to the fire smoke

[chorus]
        D#sus2          D#
I could never tell you now
            D#sus2      D#
 what I had oftеn said before
        G#/C          Cm
Becausе promise is a pendulum,
     G#/C             Cm
just swinging at the door
            Fm7
And I'm not saying I'm not jealous,
   Fm7
or scared anymore
         A#7sus4
I'm just saying

[verse 2]
        D#sus2        D#
I could never make a rainbow,
   D#sus2       D#
or any kind of flower
      G#/C          Cm
Could never make a sparrow,
     G#/C    Cm
or a meteor shower
      Fm7
Could never build an earthworm,
A#7sus4
never make the earth turn
          D#sus2             D#
I've been listening to the laughing
       D#sus2        D#
of the fox down the trail
G#/C             Cm
Clasping to the listening of
    G#/C         Cm
the moss to the snail
Cm Cm
Ooo
    Fm7
The shimmer of the beech leaves,
       A#7sus4
as the wind does a big sneeze

[chorus]
        D#sus2          D#
I could never tell you now,
             D#sus2      D#
but I had so often said before
        G#/C          Cm
Because promise is a pendulum,
     G#/C             Cm
just swinging at the door
            Fm7
And I'm not saying I'm not jealous,
   Fm7
or scared anymore
         A#7sus4
I'm just saying

[verse 3]
        D#sus2          D#
I could never make the shadow between
     D#sus2          D#
your cheek and your eye
      G#/C          Cm
Could never make a freckle
        G#/C             Cm
 or the warm breath you sigh
    Fm7
The canopy of lashes
         A#7sus4
with the softness of ashes
          D#sus2            D#
I've been listening to the memory,
    D#sus2       D#
the way that it was
G#/C              Cm      G#/C      Cm
Listening to the echo of whys and because
Fm7                    A#7sus4
Listening to the echo, telling me to let go

[chorus]
        D#sus2          D#
I could never tell you now,
          D#sus2      D#
but I had often said before
        G#/C          Cm
Because promise is a pendulum,
     G#/C             Cm
just swinging at the door
            Fm7
And I'm not saying
                   Fm7
I'm not jealous or scared anymore
         A#7sus4
I'm just saying
A#7sus4
