Intro (with harmonica):
A minorAm G+G A minorAm G+G A minorAm - Fmaj C majorC G+G A minorAm x2
G+G A minorAm G+G A minorAm
I heard a sound when I was a child
Fmaj C majorC G+G A minorAm
someone was walking through the pillow that night
G+G A minorAm G+G A minorAm
the snow muted the pitch of night
Fmaj C majorC G+G A minorAm
a shadow approached across the field in white
G+G A minorAm G+G A minorAm
it's only me it's only me
Fmaj C majorC G+G A minorAm
and the sound of my own heart it startled me
G+G A minorAm G+G A minorAm
as I drifted from the dark room
Fmaj C majorC G+G A minorAm
face lifted from the paper moon
G+G A minorAm G+G A minorAm
reflected in the orbit bath
Fmaj C majorC G+G FF
he manages to say before he starts to laugh
E MajorE FF E MajorE DmDm
you can't always trust the darkness and the dust
Esus4Esus4 E MajorE FF G+G C majorC
but me I'm just a man it's more than I can understand
G+G C majorC G+G C majorC
it's only me its only me
Fmaj C majorC G+G A minorAm
(Harmonica)
G+G A minorAm G+G A minorAm
The white noise falls away
Fmaj C majorC G+G A minorAm
to reveal the perfect day
G+G A minorAm G+G A minorAm
where roses bloomed out of thin air
Fmaj C majorC G+G A minorAm
and music rose from down the buried stairs
G+G A minorAm G+G A minorAm
it's only mine it's only mine
Fmaj C majorC G+G A minorAm
I grew it in the shade when the sun couldn't shine
G+G A minorAm G+G A minorAm
now there's always someone waiting at the mirror
Fmaj C majorC G+G A minorAm
she stares like she knows me like a headlights deer
G+G A minorAm G+G A minorAm
and there's a twin in the other room
Fmaj C majorC G+G FF
she's always sowing and singing her songs of doom
E MajorE FF E MajorE DmDm
and at times I don't know why tears come to my eyes
Esus4Esus4 E MajorE FF G+G A minorAm
and what if I go blind as they flow out of my mind
G+G C majorC G+G C majorC
it worries me it worries me
Fmaj C majorC G+G FF
that there's someone on my mind that I don't see
FF C majorC FF C majorC
I close my eyes to disappear into the fields of stars between my ears
FF G+G FF C majorC G+G FF E MajorE
the dark as they overlap we follow one another as we fade to black
FF E MajorE DmDm Esus4Esus4 E MajorE
FF C majorC G+G C majorC G+G C majorC G+G C majorC FF C majorC G+G C majorC
it's only night it's only night
G+G A minorAm G+G A minorAm
An ultrasound when I was alive
Fmaj C majorC G+G A minorAm
the shadows go spying on the ones in the wild
G+G A minorAm G+G A minorAm
they dip their arrows into the sea
Fmaj C majorC G+G A minorAm
they wash their arms as they wait for me
G+G A minorAm G+G A minorAm
they wait for me they wait for me
G+G A minorAm G+G A minorAm
hey wait for me hey wait for me
