[Chorus]
BShe who walks aGlone in life
AShe of sound mindBm  
I am Bonly as old as GI've been told
Now F#I'm playing for time
BmDarling take me Gto the lakeside
AWash my body wellBm  
I am Bholy now the Gwater's hit me
EmBroken from your spell
Cause I was on my Bmhands Aand Bmknees
Bending at the Bmheart Aof Emme
BWe don't know the Gweight of all
The Awords we say nowBm  
In a Bfew more years, with Gopen ears
Would yF#ou still say them aloud?
BmThey who walk aGlone in life
AThey are of sound Bmmind
We can Bonly get hurt by Gthings we've heard
And Emlovers are unkind
But did you hear the Bmsun Ago Bmdown?
Silent as a Bmchild AI fEmound
Hiding in the Bmmidnight Aof my Emsoul
I am ready Gnow to Alet her Bmgo
BShe who walks aGlone in life
AShe by hBmerself
We are oBnly as old as Gwe've been told
F#And I'm not ready for the shelf
BmDarling take me Gto the lakeside
ALay my body downBm  
I am Bholy now while Gskin is touching
EmLet the sun go out
I am on my Bmhands Aand Bmknees
Bending at the Bmheart Aof Emme
Hiding in the Bmmidnight Aof my Emsoul
Please don't break the Gshell that AI call Bmhome
