Lyrics:

How long must I stare into this window?
How long ‘til I see the things I need?
‘Cause I’ve been looking now for days
Hoping that I’d cross your gaze
And see myself inside your weary eyes.

How long must I sing these songs of sorrow?
What’s the trick to get the darkness out?
‘Cause I’ve been singing now for hours
Hoping for some special powers
Teach me all the things that I can do to bring you back

I sing these hymns to call you in
I shout these songs to let you go
I use my voice to fill the space that I am in
It’s a space I do not know

How deep can I dig into your past?
To hold on tight and hope that it will last
You were drifting now you’re gone
You were weak and now you’re strong
Teach me all the words that I can say to bring you back

Show me signs to let me know that I will be okay
Salve for sadness, balm for this mess that I sift through everyday
You are arrows tipped with pine, shot through chests and left behind
On the forest floor where I will wait ‘til you come home

I sing these hymns to call you in
I shout these songs to let you go
I use my voice to fill the space that I am in
It’s a space I do not know

Please comment & rate!

Capo 3rd fret, standard tuning

Intro:

F F C G x4

Verse:

We sleep in a heap on the floor
Our bodies are declaring war
Keep our eyes peeled on the door
on the door

My body it lies like an arch
Like a bridge over yours in the dark
And our hands they are tangled in two
They’re tangled into one
Chorus:

rythm: 1-2-3|1|1-2-3|1-2-3 x3 1-2-3|1|1-2|1-2-3|1-2-3|1-2-3|1-2-3|1-2-3

And I lie like a dead deer
And I’m down in the cedars
And you lie through your clenched teeth
With your maps, you retreater
retreater

Verse:

And we talk through a mail truck
That is lost in our bad luck
And you talk like a factory
Blowing smoke and interrupting me

Bridge:

Well I guess this is it
We turn into dust
Those things that we did
Well we can never go back
Guess we fade into black

Chorus:

And I know that you’re dying
By the way that you’re lying
And you stand like a dead tree
With your leaves falling on me
falling on me
Took a backseat to an old me
Took a deep breath when you told me
That you’d change you just to hold me
That you’d change you just to hold me
That you’d change you just to hold me

Outro:

F C G G x3 F C F
