Intro:
D MajorD


Verse 1:
D MajorD        A minorAm
I've never been alone
        G+G
Long enough to know
        D MajorD
If I ever was a child

D MajorD          A minorAm
I was tied up like a boat
          G+G
On a button like a coat
        D MajorD
Set free for a while


Chorus:
  E minorEm           G minorGm
I'd jump to jolt my clumsy blood
     D MajorD      A augmentedA
While my white, green eyes


Verse 2:
D MajorD         A minorAm
Cry like a window pane

Can my cold heart change
      D MajorD
Even out of spite?

Chorus:
 E minorEm      G minorGm       D MajorD
I saw behind my brain a haunted stain
     A augmentedA

 E minorEm          G minorGm     A augmentedA
I hunt for the kind of pain I can take

Verse 3:
   D MajorD         A minorAm
And I cry like a window pane
         G+G
Can my cold heart change
   D MajorD
Over night?

  D MajorD          A minorAm
So I won't ever want to touch
        G+G
Your heart too much
        D MajorD
Or hold you too tight

Chorus:
 E minorEm      G minorGm       D MajorD
I saw behind my brain a haunted stain

I hunt for the kind of pain I can take
