All of my heroes sit up straight
     Gadd9        D
They stare at the ground

They radiate

Me, I’m mumbling in the kitchen for the sun to pay up

Lonely is a ring on a cold coffee cup

Chorus:

Digging for bones

My hands they were strangers lost in the night
        Gadd9   D            Gadd9      D  D6add11  D  D6add11
They’re waving around in the dusty light
    D              D6              D     D6add11   D  D6  D  D6add11
I’m waiting in the wings while the trees undress
Gadd9      Asus4           D6add11      D  D6add11  D
Cupping my ear to hear the wind confess

Chorus:
      D6add11      D      D6add11  D
I’m a ghost in the garden
Gadd9       Bm7add11
Scaring the crows

I’m running from nothing, no thoughts in my mind
      Bm7add11
Oh my heart was all black
      Gadd9          D
But I saw something shine
        Asus4                       Gadd9         D
Thought that part was yours, but it might just be mine
        Bm7add11                  Gadd9       D
I could share it with you, if you gave me the time

Chorus:
    D6add11    D       D6add11  D
I’m all bloody knuckles
Gadd9       Bm7add11
Longing for home
      Asus4                            Gadd9   D  D6add11  D  D6add11  D  D6add11  D  D
