Pierce through your hands a thousand holes

A C#m B

And never know the cross you bear

[Verse]

Maybe I was born inside a shadow

A E B

I'm always starving for the light

A E C#m B A

The only roads I seem to follow

E B

Are the ones, leading to the night

[Chorus]

You can dig a thousand graves

A C#m B

You're never gonna bury that ghost

C#m B E

Floats up from the ground and It calls your name

A C#m B

Hangs in your hair like a Jesus stone

[Verse]

Crashing down too far from heaven

Fell too short of a million things

Try to put the pieces back together

It's what I get, flight on broken wings

Sick of dying in these nights

I wanna feel alive in the world

Wanna straighten out all my crooked lines

A C#m B

And then I'm gonna marry that girl

[Verse]

A E B

Cause I believe that love can save me

A E B

When it comes in quiet and it rises slow

A E C#m B A

Takes the depths out of the darkness

So you don't have to fall that far alone

A E B

So you don't have to face it on your own

[Outro]
