Intro:E5 F#5 D5 B5
C5 B5 C5 B5
Looking at you I see her face
C5 B5 C5
Through all these years, just waiting
E5 C5
It all catches up to you when you slow down
B5 C5 B5
I'm back in that yard, tasting that shame
C5 B5 C5 D5
Of pushing her down, Of kids and her games
E5 F#5
...their strongholds
C#5 A5 C#5 A5
We had a bigger world - we had a better view
C#5 A5
I guess I never fully realized then
G#5 F#5 A5 F#5
What she lost when I cut that loss
Intro
C5 B5 C5 B5
So she filled the void with unearthly friends
C5 B5 E5 F#5
Voices of hers - greater...
C#5 A5 C#5 A5
We had a bigger world - we had a better view
C#5 A5
I wish she'd never told us about her voices
G#5 F#5 A5 F#5
We were strong, we were much too strong
Intro - *Never forgive - never forget*
We picked and pierced, we ripped and we tore
We hit and we scratched to make in her a hole
Glares and eyes - whispers and notes
Attached to her every pose
A5 G5 D5 F5 A5
( C5 Bb5 G#5 G5 F5 Eb5 C5 )
We fed her shouts
For the collection of her voices
( B5 A5 G5 F#5 E5 D5 B5 )
I was too weak to collect
But so, it turned out, was she
Both paid in soul for the cutting of that loss
Their ugly truth
Outnumbered by far her beautiful dream
And I closed my eyes
Were her eyes in yours already when we met?
Am I still paying debts to recover Life?
C5 B5
Now I can see she proved to be right
C5 B5
As she was called down
C5
It's sad though...
E5
...that I turned out to be one of her voices.
