[Verse 1]
G+G D MajorD C majorC G+G
Balmorhea, well, what say you?
G+G D MajorD C majorC D MajorD
Will you meet me there when I come passing through?
E minorEm D MajorD C majorC G+G
And if you find reason to hide, you know where you can come.
G+G D MajorD C majorC G+G
That is, if I'm not the one you're still hiding from.
[Verse 2]
G+G D MajorD C majorC G+G
But I pawned my faith there and I couldn't buy it back,
G+G D MajorD C majorC D MajorD
When you said your life there on the stage was all an act.
E minorEm D MajorD C majorC G+G
Where the world saw you as a phoenix on the wind with wings of fire,
G+G D MajorD C majorC
Oh, it's plain to me, you'll always be a sparrow,
C minorCm G+G
Singing softly on the wire.
C majorC C minorCm G+G
Whoa-oh, a sparrow singing softly on the wire.
[Verse 3]
G+G D MajorD C majorC G+G
Now the boys talk over and the girls chatter loud
G+G D MajorD C majorC D MajorD
And your precious dirge upon the stage was so drowned out.
E minorEm D MajorD C majorC G+G
But I realized it's not the song or the stage that made you shine;
G+G D MajorD C majorC
It's the way you speak, your soft mystique, and one day I,
C minorCm G+G
For a season, tried to make you mine.
C majorC C minorCm G+G
One day I, for a season, tried to make you mine.
