So, for as many times as I've listened to this, and how much I love it, these chords
seem pretty accurate, but if you notice anything wrong, let me know.

D MajorD
She got down on hands and knees,
   G+G
One ear against the ground,
    D MajorD
Holding her breath to hear something,
     G+G
But the dirt made not a sound tonight

G+G
Echoes of songs still lurk on distant foreign shores,
     G+G
Where we danced just to please the gods that only ask for more,

   B minorBm
So it goes
       G+G
But still we give ourselves to this
G+G
We can't spend our lives waiting to live

D MajorD
On cold nights
AsusAsus
In a prayer for dawn
B minorBm
But daylight
G+G
Isn't what she wants

D MajorD
The concrete
AsusAsus
Calls my name again
B minorBm
I'm falling
G+G
Through the cracks I slip

D MajorD
The postcard says wish you were here
     G+G
But I'd rather I was there,
    G+G
Holding on to the simple things before they disappear,
         B minorBm
That's what I meant
       G+G
But that was then, and this is now
G+G
I'll make it up to you somehow

D MajorD
On cold nights
AsusAsus
In a prayer for dawn
B minorBm
But daylight
G+G
Isn't what she wants

D MajorD
The concrete
AsusAsus
Calls my name again
B minorBm
I'm falling
G+G
Through the cracks I slip

A augmentedA
A majorA destination, a fading smile.
G+G
Another station, another mile.
A augmentedA
Another day gone, I swore that I will.
D MajorD
Be there before dawn.
G+G
So be there, I will.

D MajorD
She got down on hands and knees,
  G+G
One ear against the ground,
    D MajorD
Holding her breath to hear something,
G+G
Anything at all
G+G
The dirt whispered, "Child, I'm coming home"

D MajorD
On cold nights
AsusAsus
In a prayer for dawn
B minorBm
But daylight
G+G
Isn't what she wants

D MajorD
The concrete
AsusAsus
Calls my name again
B minorBm
I'm falling
G+G
