Lyrics Iron & Wine – Chalk It Up To Chi

I am on a train
You on the road
Eat until the trek
Feeling out communication

You’re a sorry black boot, I’m a shiny marble

I am open stone
You are mossy green
I could be your home but you’re gone and overgrown it
I could be your home
You won’t keep it clean
Greedy as the grain in a rainfall
Elemental communication

I’m a sorry black boot, you’re a shiny marble
I’m a shiny marble, you’re a sorry black boot
You lost your marble in your sorry black boot
You shine ’em up you’ll get your swagger shining black
You shine ’em up you’ll get your shiny marble back

Couldn’t we just agree
Chalk it up to chi
Sing along the roots and I’ll sing along the leaf tops
I could be your home
Fuck with you for fun
Help until it hurts with a friend first
Elemental communication

I’m a shiny marble, you’re a sorry black boot
You lost your marble in your sorry black boot

I’m a shiny marble, you’re a sorry black boot
You lost your marble in your sorry black boot
You shine ’em up you’ll get your swagger shining black
You shine ’em up you’ll get your shiny marble back
