MY FIDELITY - (discography)
by Heather Nova
Am
Is it something ritual
I'm caught in, can't break the spell ?
G
Is it moving in my body
Is it biological ?
Am
I gotta hand it to you
You've got one heart ten times divided
G
Did you cut yourself in pieces
To get them all inside ?
Am
You dream about her, can't you see ?
G
She's only shining bright 'cause she's so out of reach
Am
You dream about the seven seas
G
While I'm staying home each night
Fmaj7 G Am
Making love to my fidelity
I'm rocking in my bed
I can't talk can't think can't sleep
And nothing's jumping fences
I only count what I cannot keep
I lick my wounds,
I chase my instinct, like a cat
I don't know how I got so good
Or why my heart's a trap.
You dream about her, can't you see ?
She's only shining bright 'cause she's so out of reach
You dream about the seven seas
While I'm staying home each night
Making love to my fidelity
Fmaj7 G6
Why I love you, why I love you
Am (b c d)
Why I love you, I don't know
Fmaj7 G6 Am (b c d)
Why I love you, why I love you, why
Fmaj7 G6 Am (b c d)
Taking sides with my enemy
Fmaj7 G6 Am (b c d)
Making love to my fidelity
Fmaj7 G
Fmaj7 x4
You dream about her, can't you see ?
She's only shining bright 'cause she's so out of reach
You dream about the seven seas
While I'm staying home each night
Making love to my fidelity
I'm landlocked, stuck in here
I don't want to take my freedom
I can't change what makes me high
And I can't change what I believe in
I'm not pleasing no guru
I'm not out to look for Jesus
I'm not afraid to break the rules
It's just, one love keeps me breathing
You dream about her, can't you see ?
She's only shining bright 'cause she's so out of reach
You dream about the seven seas
While I'm staying home each night
Making love to my fidelity
Fmaj7 G6
Why I love you, why I love you
Am (b c d)
Why I love you, I don't know
Fmaj7 G6 Am (b c d)
Why I love you, why I love you, why
Fmaj7 G6 Am (b c d)
Taking sides with my enemy
Fmaj7 G6 Am (b c d)
Making love to my fidelity

Under your skin there's something beckoning
Fmaj7 Am G*
There's something that makes me believe in you
Fmaj7 Am C Am
Behind your eyes, that's where the sacred lies
Fmaj7 Am G*
You know I need to get through
Am C Am C
Oh here I go again, through the undergrowth again

Feel the earth move, the planets spin but I can't get through
Am G Am G
It's the spirit in you, it's the spirit in you
Am G Am
It's the spirit in you that I want to find
I've seen your face, the one your mother made
Now let me see what makes you really move
I know you're scared, I know it's tender there
Just let me closer let me get through
Oh here I go again, through the undergrowth again
Feel the earth move, the planets spin but I can't get through
It's the spirit in you, it's the spirit in you
It's the spirit in you that I want to find
Am G Am G Am
And when you make me feel, when you make me bleed, my lucky stars fall down on me
G Am G Am
You know I need to know you, I need to see, I need to take a hold of what's underneath
G Am G Am
So close your eyes, close your eyes, unlock your mind, unlock your mind
G Am G
Throw off the fear, and let us fly
Oh here I go again, through the undergrowth again
Feel the earth move, the planets spin but I can't get through
It's the spirit in you, it's the spirit in you
It's the spirit in you that I want to find
It's the spirit in you, it's the spirit in you
It's the spirit in you that I want to find

Put your head down, hear the ocean

So much inside and it's all been broken

You know it's just one step out it could all be over

I'm falling, it's all in your hands, don't let it wash away
Fmaj7 G6 Am ~
I'm aching, don't take it all away, breaking the shell again
Look at me I'm out on the edge
Put your hand here, see I'm bleeding
I can't get it, get the light out
I can't seem to tear out the feeling
You know it's just one step out it could all be over
You know this could rip us out at the seams
I'm falling,it's all in your hands, don't let it wash away
I'm aching,don't take it all away, breaking the shell again
Am E G x2
Am
I am a box, I am a fish, I am a trail, I keep you warm
E G
And I remember stripping down to meet the water, wading out
Am
To where the sky turns under
E G
My insides smooth like a shell, like a shell
Fmaj7 G Am
Put your hand here
Fmaj7 G Am
You know this could rip us out at the seams
I'm falling, it's all in your hands, don't let it wash away
I'm aching,don't take it all away, breaking the shell again
I'm falling, it's all in your hands, don't let it wash away
Fmaj7 G6 Am ~
I'm aching, don't take it all away, breaking the shell again

A E F#m D Dsus2~D
I've been wondering, waiting for something to give
A E F#m D Dsus2~D
I won't be a heroine, I'm just looking for something to live by
A
And there are lesions in the soil
E F#m D Dsus2 D
And there pockets of pain where the shadows lie
A E F#m D Dsus2~D
And there are voices in the ocean and there is something in the sky
Bm E Bm E
A mother should say, a father should say
A D E A D E
Oh you, look up, look down
A D E
Keep your ear to the ground
A D E
Keep your ear to the ground
It's washing, it's washing over me.
It's spinning, it's spinning under me
And am I looking up at the angels
Or am I really looking up at clouds floating by ?
And when I say I'm listening why is it I only hear you when you cry ?
A mother should say, a father should say
Oh you, look up look down
Keep your ear to the ground
Keep your ear to the ground
D E F#m F#m x2
A mother should say, a father should say
Oh you, look up look down
Keep your ear to the ground
Keep your ear to the ground
