Sufjan Stevens - A Running Start: chords

D#    Fm            Cm             A#/D
If I imagine myself peaceful on the fire escape
D#              Fm             Cm             A#/D
Head first, my hands inside my T-shirt, as we run
away
   D#                    Fm
So now we have a running start
   Cm            A#/D
My body moves in mystic ways
   D#                         Fm
I cross my arms to shield my heart
   Cm                A#/D
As everything turns into waves

  Fm            D#
I see the light upon the lake
    Fm                A#/D
The silver moon, the water snake
  Fm              D#
A pair of eyes, a gentle breeze
   Fm               A#/D
Forgotten tales, a wild beast

Chorus:
    Fm             D#
I know, I know the time has come
   Fm            A#/D
to ask you for a kiss
      Fm            D#
Don't go, my lovely pantomime,
  Fm             A#/D
receive of me my only wish

If I align myself with Pisces in a funny way
Can you, my lover, kiss my bracelet
and my shoulder blades?
We’ve always had a running start
I jump between the trampolines
You throw your arms around my heart
As if to say you're all I need

The winter pines, the lonely drake
The light beneath the frozen lake
A pair of eyes, a gentle breeze
Forgotten tales, a wild beast

Chorus:
I know, I know the time has come
to ask you for a kiss
Don't go, my lovely pantomime,
receive of me my only wish
