Intro-
  C    C/F    CC/F...
As the Cmorning spreads the Gsuslight, another feeAmling sheds its Fskin
As the Cday is wondered Emright way round, Amit's twisted from C/Gwithin
                  C                EmAm*    Gsus*          D7  F  
Seems like time is true and all in bones, despite the sin
                         C                EmAm*       Gsus*           C    C/F    C  C/F  
And only washed out empty streets exactly know just where you've been
Now Cthe sun roams the Gsusroad inventing Amtwenty shades of Fgreen
It Cpaints the walls and Emfountains and it Amtrembles like a Gsusdream
                  C                     EmAm*     Gsus*        D7  F  
Seems like time it trains your heart is thirsty as   a stream
                        C                 EmAm*       Gsus*        C    C/F    C  C/F  
And only restless silent thoughts exactly know just what  you mean
But FI, I am taken by the ghostly fog that Amspills, from your Gsuseyes
Yes and FI, I can't conquer all the crooked land that fAmills, up your Gsusmind
But Fyou, you can pay me off and send me on my Amway, on my Gsusway
But Fyou, you can take these prison walls as I Amfall, fall aGsussleep
    C* C/B* Am*  F*
But I  be-- long here
C* C/B* Am*  F*
I  be-- long here
  C    C/F    CC/F...
CNoiseless dust is Gsusgathered in the Amcorner of the Froom
CMy poor sound is Emscattered in the Amstreet that's lit by the Gsusmoon
                      C                   EmAm*        Gsus*         D7  F  
And I can't trace your footprints all the waves have washed the sand
                  C                     EmAm*      Gsus*        C    C/F    C  C/F  
I'm lost along the crooked lines you've crumpled in  your hands
There are Ctwenty thousand Gsuscards upon your Amtable... which I've Fplayed
Still I Ccannot find the Emvolumes, Amhidden in the Gsusshade
                  C                  EmAm*    Gsus*         D7  F  
Seems our time the spotlight that is slowly on... the fade
                         C                 EmAm*         Gsus*       C    C/F    C  C/F  
Leaving strangers left to question all the things that you have made
But FI, I am taken by the ghostly fog that Amspills, from your Gsuseyes
Yes and FI, I can't conquer all the crooked land that Amfills, up your Gsusmind
But Fyou, you can pay me off and send me on my Amway, on my Gsusway
But Fyou, you can take these prison walls as I Amfall, fall aGsussleep

But I  be-- long here
C* C/B* Am*  F*
I  be-- long here  -about 3 more times, end with C
