You're shaking b[C/G]ad in your sheets,
Em
Convulsing like you didn't eat.
F
You don't know what's more scary,
[C/G]Your door open or closed.
[C/G]"Do I look like a dead body?"
Em
Your jumping jaw asked me
F
With the funniest smile I've ever seen.
[C/G]Your soul was coming out your eyes.
[C/G]Piles of clothes and photographs
Em
Fill the floor where I collapse.
F
The walls grow blue and
[C/G]I'm trying to lift my head.
[C/G]Now I'm dying in this living room.
Em
My stomach turns to sand.
F
Yeah, why do I fight the good times
[C/G]Like I'm sure that I'll be damned?
C/G Em
And I fear what I've done
F C/G
Means I've lost what I love.
C/G Em
And I fear what I've done
F C/G
Means I've lost what I love.
[C/G]Hardwood floors carry sounds
Em
That carry slow to my ears.
F
It's the words I can't recognize,
[C/G]But I'm trying hard to hear.
[C/G]'Cause my eyes can't find the things
Em
That they're looking for down here.
F
And brown leaves are covering,
[C/G]Another wasted day this year.
[C/G]The lights strung out across the yard
Em
Remind me of a time, oh,
F
When I tried to be a light, you know,
[C/G]God, I tried to shine.
[C/G]But the cross seems so high tonight,
Em
And glory I can't find.
F
Oh, could you tilt it while you're leaning down,
[C/G]Or will you pull me back inside?
C/G Em
And I fear what I've done
F C/G
Means I've lost what I love.
C/G Em
And I fear what I've done
F C/G
Means I've lost what I love.
C/G Em
So carry me home
F C/G
To the door beneath the sand.
C/G Em
So carry me home
F C/G
To the sounds of angel bands.
C/G Em
And I fear what I've done
F C/G
Means I've lost what I love.
C/G Em
And I fear what I've done
