-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Intro:
G C G D x2

The footprints over the snow
the fabric of all the lonely
C-Covering only
the fables and hands

the rest is out in the cold
holding the last of the season
F-F-F freezin’ Yeah

My my my heart like a kick drum
My my heart like a kick drum
My my heart like a kick drum
My love like a voice.

We’re walkin’ in to the fields.
We’re walkin in to the forest.
The moon is before us, up above
We’re holdin’ hands in the rain
S-sayin’ words like I love you
D-D-D’you love me? Yeah

My my heart like a kick drum
My my heart like a kick drum
My my heart like a kick drum
My my love like a voice

C D G G/f# C
Mother Mary heard us approaching her door
D G G/f# Em
Although we didn’t make a sound.

There’s nothing like finding gold
within the rocks hard and cold
I’m so surprised to find more

Always surprised to find more
I won’t look back anymore
I left the people that do
Its not the chase that I love

Its me following you.

REPEAT CHORUS

END!

I miss it
I miss it
Oh, I miss that feeling of feeling
I used to fill the sky around with happiness and joy

I had news to give the wind to keep my self and heart employed (really unsure of these lyrics)
I felt people move around me
I felt loneliness and shame
Back then every day was different now each moment is the same

I miss it
I miss it

G Am C X2
Oh, I miss that feeling of feeling
The feeling of feeling
The wind upon my face
And caring [C/B]what it brings this way
The feeling of feeling
The minutes pass away
And caring [C/B]what I do with them
Baby bring me love or something else

And so it goes a man grows cold
Some would say a man grows strong
They tell me life grows short
I say the road only grows long
And as long as there’s a road
My feet will never touch the ground
And if you won’t give my heart back I’ve no need to stick around

I miss it
I miss it
G Am C X2
Oh, I miss that feeling of feeling

I haven’t finished a thing, since I started my life,
don’t feel much like starting now.
Walking out lonely has worked like a charm,
I’m the only one I have to let down.

But watching you makes me think that that is wrong.

I can go on with my insecure nature,
I can keep living off sympathy.
I can tell all the people that all of this success
is a direct reflection on me.

But watching you makes me think that that is wrong.

[Instrumental]

G C G D7 (x2)

What is important? What’s really important?
Am I, not to know by my name?
Will I ever know silence, without mental violence,
will raining at night go away?

It’s up to you, my father called on me.

I haven’t finished a thing since I started my life,
don’t feel much like starting now. (x4)
Em C Bm D7 (x2)
