Intro: Cadd11 -  C/B-  Am7-  Am11(x2)
Cadd11Such a stubborn beast
                        C/B  Am7-Am11  
Is best away from the flock
Cadd11                        C/B  Am7-Am11  
You've enough pride for all of us
Cadd11As you wander your island
               C/B  Am7-Am11  
Unborn and unloved
Cadd11You set fire to the bridges
C/BThat you were carried acrossAm7  G  C  
But those Am7letters
They're all Cadd11strewn across 
your bedroom floorC  Cadd9  
Such beautiful Am7words but

You just can't remember who they're for
Cadd11Such a frightened fawn

Well they're all Cadd11strewn across 
your bedroom floorC  Cadd9  
Such beautiful Am7words but

     Cadd9By your Am7window 
       Cadd11                       C  
sits a picture filled with strangers
Always looking Gdown on you

They were always looking aGround for you

But never able to find you
