Hozier - Who We Are Chords

[intro]
D

[verse 1]
D           Bm                F#
You only feel it when it's lost
           G                 D
Gettin' through still has a cost
    Bm                           F#
Quietly, it slips through your fingers love
          G                D
Falling from you drop by drop
            Bm              F#
What I had left here I just held it tight
       G               D                 Bm
So someone with your eyes might come in time
                 F#
To hold me like water
             G              D
Or Christ, hold me like a knife

[chorus]
                 Bm
We're born at night
                F#
So much of our lives
          G                  D
Is just carvin' through the dark
          Bm
To get so far
                 F#
And the hardest part
           G
Is who we are
             D
It's who we are

[verse 2]
          Bm                 F#
You and I burned out our steam
          G              D
Chasing someone else's dream
         Bm                   F#
How can somethin' be so much heavier
             G                 D
But so much less than what it seems
             Bm
Darling, we sacrificed
    F#               G             D
We gave our time to somethin' undefined
              Bm                        F#
This phantom life, it sharpens like an image
         G               D
But it sharpens like a knife

[chorus]
                 Bm
We're born at night
                F#
So much of our lives
          G                  D
Is just carvin' through the dark
          Bm
To get so far
                 F#
And the hardest part
           G
Is who we are
             D
It's who we are

[outro]
D           Bm                F#
 You only feel it when it's lost
           G                   D
Gettin' through still has its cost
     Bm                         F#
Quietly, it slips through your fingers love
          G
Fallin' from you drop by drop
