Intro:
C majorC C majorC FF C majorC

        C majorC            C majorC
She’ll never know, when she tells you goodnight,
         FF             C majorC
The fear that you hide, as she lays by your side.
    C majorC              C majorC
When you stand, all the faults of a man
          FF               C majorC
Etched right in your face, still she lays there in place.

    A minorAm           G+G
How the warmth of the garden you sowed.
           A minorAm           G+G
Is the stuff of these bones, once broken and cold.

      C majorC             C majorC
And you go home and you sleep in your bed,
             FF              C majorC
Feel like your dancing in sync with the ghosts in your head.
    A minorAm             G+G
And she wakes. You say, “go back to sleep,”
       A minorAm              G+G
You dare never say, the greatest secret you keep
           C majorC               C majorC
Is that you might be alone, that you might have to run,
           FF             C majorC
That the rest of your life will be a series of nights
           A minorAm
That you spend in your mind
             G+G
Staring backwards through time
N.C.       C majorC
At something you lost.

C majorC  C majorC  FF  C majorC

          C majorC           C majorC
And you’ll never be home. You’ll never be one

          FF          C majorC
Eyes closed in the sun on a warm day in June.
           A minorAm            G+G
But on the damp dirty floor of your wintry cold room,
            A minorAm           G+G
You see her face in the dust. How it fills you up.
N.C.        C majorC   C majorC
And you say “Hello. Hello.
         FF             C majorC
Please don’t ever leave. Please don’t ever go,
           A minorAm
And you can call me a man.
            G+G
It’s etched right in my face.
         A minorAm
But it could never span
           G+G
the endless expanse of space
         C majorC
all around us alone.
            C majorC
And just this one small home,
          FF
One brief moment of time,
           C majorC
The only thing I call mine
          A minorAm
is this line that we crossed
            G+G
And how it came at the cost
N.C.         C majorC
Of everything that I lost
