Verse 1:
G+G            B minorBm        C/GC/G       G+G
I've got a plan for my demons, I'm gonna meet them in the morning
G+G             B minorBm             C majorC       A minorAm
We'll televise it like a prize fight they'll never know the fix is in
G+G            B minorBm         C majorC           G+G
I'll take a fall in the first round get my lip split landing face down
E minorEm            G*
Never bet against your sin


G+G           B minorBm           C majorC           G+G
I've got a plan for my best friends i'm gonna tell them that im leaving
G+G         B minorBm         C majorC     A minorAm
Packin up all my loose ends with a suitcase and guitar
G+G            B minorBm      C majorC         G+G
I always make it to the taxi with my bags packed in the back seat
E minorEm            G+G
But I never get too far

Chorus:
C majorC         G+G      C majorC      G+G
From that lonesome feeling of a hollow chest
C majorC       G+G      D MajorD
The cage is empty, all the songbirds left
C majorC       G+G       C majorC      G+G  E minorEm
The credits rolling, oh the screen went dark
  G*     E minorEm   G+G
I lost my heart

Verse 2:
G+G           B minorBm         C majorC       G+G
I've been putting on a brave face when i say grace every evening
G+G          B minorBm        C majorC      A minorAm
Holding faith like a hostage till I lost it one night
G+G          B minorBm            C majorC            G+G
Now i'm healing at the bed side with the shades drawn and my hands tied
E minorEm          G+G
No it never takes long

Chorus:
C majorC       G+G       C majorC     G+G
That lonesome feeling of a hollow chest
C majorC       G+G       D MajorD
The cage is empty, all the songbirds left
C majorC       G+G     C majorC        G+G  E minorEm
The wolves are waiting, they sew them apart
    G*       E minorEm
And I lost my heart
  G+G
I lost my heart

Interlude:

G+G B minorBm C majorC G+G B minorBm C majorC A minorAm G+G B minorBm C majorC G+G

Verse 3:
G+G         B minorBm          C majorC         G+G
I cut a hole in my window where all my dreams go in the morning
G+G         B minorBm         C majorC      A minorAm
Settle down on the sidewalk like a fine chalk dust
G+G            B minorBm         C majorC            G+G
Still my lovers having nightmares as she lies there right beside me
E minorEm            G+G
No she's never far enough

Chorus:
C majorC         G+G      C majorC      G+G
From that lonesome feeling of a hollow chest
C majorC       G+G      D MajorD
The cage is empty all the songbirds left
C majorC       G+G       C majorC     G+G
Don't you worry don't you lose your heart
E minorEm    G*
I will sing their part
E minorEm    G*
I will sing their part
E minorEm    G*
I will sing their part
