D   Dsus2


Verse 1:
  Dsus2                            D
I walked through the walls with my chest out again
     D                                     G
Took off with the gates when they closed me in
    D                                   Dsus4
The words we exchanged were so secret and strange
  Em          E          A
I knew that nobody would guess

Verse 2:
        D                        Dsus4                D
That my hair was a skirt that you wrapped around your hips
    D                  G
As I paint wild honey upon your lips
    D
You knew I was nervous, did you do this on purpose?
                E          A
I might as well settle for less


Chorus:
                 G        D                       G
Well, how do you start to carve out a hole from a heart?
    D                         G
Did somebody tell you they're hollow?
    D                        G
The deeper and deeper you'll go
                              A
'Til the walls that you break through
              D
Collapse onto you

Verse 2:
     D                            G
Your brothers were scared so they tore out my eyes
     D                            G
They draped me in chains and they left me blind
  D                           G
I pulled at the locks and set fire to the foxes
     Bm                  A
But no one was listening then


Chorus:
                 G        D                A      G
Well, how do you start to carve out a hole from a heart?
    D        A                G
Did somebody tell you they're hollow?
    D          A             G
The deeper and deeper you'll go
                              A
'Til the walls that you break through
              D
Collapse onto you

Bridge:
      D            A             G
Well, I could drag this to it's obvious end
    D            A           G
But what kind of man would I be then?
    D           A
The gods in the front porch
    G
If that's what I'm meant for
     Bm          G          A
I'll take it and never look back


Outro:
                 G        D                A      G
Well, how do you start to carve out a hole from a heart?
    D        A                G
Did somebody tell you they're hollow?
    D          A             G
The deeper and deeper you'll go
                          A                     G
'Till the walls you break through give way to a flood
    D               A                G
You scream and your mouth fills with blood
    D              A        G
But all you could do now is swallow
    D              A             G
And live like you found what you need
                            A
When you're brought to your knees
                      D
Don't come running to me
