[Verse 1]
DmOh let me in
The air out here is thick
And I've grown Bbthin
Been Gmchoking on the wind
DmRetching through my skin
Coughing up love that tastes like Bbspring
GmGreen and starved of oxyDmgen
[Chorus 1]
BbBut I could be the GmlightBb  
BbBlaze my own damn Ftrail and Cyou'll foBbllow
To a Bbcruel, Fhard hDmeartland
I'm a Bbcruel, Ahard DmheartFland
[Verse 2]
DmGrey charcoal blue
Stretched across the sky
This lonely Bbmoon
Leaves Gmfootprints in my shoes
DmWonders through my bed
DmStrokes my paper face and combs my Bbhead
GmSpeaking silent words with hands insDmtead
[Chorus 2]
BbShe could be the GmlighBbt
BbHelp me blaze a Ftrail and Cthey'll follBbow
To a Bbcruel, Fhard Dmheartland

To the Gmeast I raise my cCup
Rise at Gmdawn and wake my Ebsluggish heart
BeGmat life again
I am Ebready now, wasn't Fready Athen
[Verse 3]
I Dmplunged into the lake to hide my Bbtears
ConGmceal my salty fears
DmHeaving on the grass
Gasping at the air, the sky went Bbdark
The Gmfire broke apart
We slept at Dmlast
[Chorus 3]
BbWhen the embers GmdieBb  
BbThen I'll take your Fhand and Clead you thBbere
To a Bbcruel, Fhard Dmheartland
I'm a Bbcruel, Ahard DmheartFlandDm

The air out here is thick

And I've grown thin

Been choking on the wind

Retching through my skin

Coughing up love that tastes like spring

But I could be the light

Blaze my own damn trail and you'll follow

Stretched across the sky

This lonely moon

Leaves footprints in my shoes

Wonders through my bed

Strokes my paper face and combs my head

Speaking silent words with hands instead

[Verse 3]

I plunged into the lake to hide my tears

Conceal my salty fears

Heaving on the grass

Gasping at the air, the sky went dark

The fire broke apart

We slept at last

[Chorus 3]

When the embers die

Bb F C Bb

Then I'll take your hand and lead you there

Bb F Dm

To a cruel, hard heartland
