Capo 2
   GI opened up the music Dbox
I wish you would have changed the Emlocks
To keep me from replaying
DAll the feelings I've been saving
   GI did not keep them locked up iDnside
I did not take my steps in sEmtride
Thought you were bluffing, trampled on Dyou
Went from friends to nothing
  CRadiGo turns to Dgold
  CAnd paves the Gway to find my Dhome
  When CI'Gm aDlone
  When CI'Gm Dalone
G  Em F#m  G
  GOvereager and underDway
I risked it all, I had to Emsay
What opened me up for the Dbeating
But the heart is for Gbleeding
With scraps of songs I Dpaste along
The seams of my clumsy Emtongue
In hopes of creating the golden Dnotes
That might bring you back to me
  CRadiGo turns to Dgold
  CAnd paves the Gway to find my Dhome
  When CI'Gm aDlone
  When CI'Gm Dalone
G  Em F#m C
G D Em D
  GLike phantoms on the highway
DAfter holiday, gritting their Emteeth
Racing to find a place for their Dsoul
Or at least a place... that's less faGmiliar
We offer up our heart beDfore
The heart's invited or asked Emfor
Oh no, here I go my friend, I'm reDpeating
But the heart is for blGeeding...
And I've said all I can Dsay
I am retreating, on my wEmay
Music box, play my song I'll Dsing along
To that bitterly sweet Ctone
  When I'm alone...

Capo 2

G D

I opened up the music box

I wish you would have changed the locks

To keep me from replaying

All the feelings I've been saving

G D

I did not keep them locked up inside

I did not take my steps in stride

Thought you were bluffing, trampled on you

Went from friends to nothing

C G D

Radio turns to gold

C G D

And paves the way to find my home

C G D

When I'm alone

C G D

When I'm alone

G Em F#m G

G D

Overeager and underway

I risked it all, I had to say

What opened me up for the beating

But the heart is for bleeding

With scraps of songs I paste along

The seams of my clumsy tongue

In hopes of creating the golden notes

That might bring you back to me

C G D

Radio turns to gold

C G D

And paves the way to find my home

C G D

When I'm alone

C G D

When I'm alone

G Em F#m C

G D Em D

Like phantoms on the highway

D Em

After holiday, gritting their teeth

Racing to find a place for their soul

Or at least a place... that's less familiar

We offer up our heart before

The heart's invited or asked for

Oh no, here I go my friend, I'm repeating

But the heart is for bleeding...

And I've said all I can say

I am retreating, on my way

Music box, play my song I'll sing along

To that bitterly sweet tone

When I'm alone...
