A
I woke up before the sun rose

Did my best to walk on tip toes
C#m
Needles and pins

Bm
Cus if you heard the way I pace

Around this room your mind would race for the
  D
Reasons and sins

A
I never learned to wear a tie and go to work and
                    C#m
Tell you lies like everything's ok
        Bm
Though sometimes it is for a little while

And I can live in between those smiles
     D
And patiently wait

Bm
When it feels like home where you can't be found
          D                                    A  E
Cus she haunts the alone and you need her now
Bm
Revered like gold in your plastic crown
            D                               A  E
When your kingdom falls and you lay it down
            Bm               D          E
Before the next breathe you need the grace
            A
To breathe out

A
I've been talking faster I've been

Looking for distraction trying to
 C#m
Loosen up some days
Bm
Ain't it funny how we can't remember

Most our lives while a few words never
    D
Mercifully fade
A
So I beg you honey take some pictures

Frame them hang them high and let's
     C#m
Set fire to the room
Bm
Cus I think I like the lighting better

When it's wrapped up in burning time like
                   D
Sweaters for your cold winter blue

Bm
When it feels like home where you can't be found
          D                                    A  E
Cus she haunts the alone and you need her now
Bm
Revered like gold in your plastic crown
            D                               A  E
When your kingdom falls and you lay it down
            Bm               D          E
Before the next breathe you need the grace
            A
To breathe out

C#m         D                   A          E
Oh have I lost some keys in the dust as I cleaned up
C#m           D             Bm              E
Oh don't it always seem to come as you let go

Bm
When it feels like home where you can't be found
          D                                    A  E
Cus she haunts the alone and you need her now
Bm
Revered like gold in your plastic crown
            D                               A  E
When your kingdom falls and you lay it down
            Bm               D          E
Before the next breathe you need the grace
            Bm               D          E
Before the next breathe you need the grace
            A
To breathe out
