              C                             Am
Just above my head, I could hear your heart beating

    C                              Am
But oh, would not stand to let you in.
         C                          Am
So often that what you long for and that what's your terror

F                       G
Will stand side by side in the end you'll decide

         C                        Am
When the picture's too tearful to look on,

             C                              Am
Will it show the walls we could never break down,

       C                      Am
Or the spaces left empty from too many places

F                                G
For the ones who just can't hang around

                Am
Can you hum him home?

            C
Or hum home him?

      F                                   C
Is it something that seeps slowly from your skin?

          Am                                 C
'Cause oh, how it drips drolly from your sense of what's a sin,

          F
I know that it's never been easy

                 C
But so many things, well they've just never been! Oh, no no no!

F    G    F    G    F    G    Am

                   C                            Am
But it's sure your heart, it was always a pure one,

          C                      Am
You could feel it in each second guess,

        C                              Am
But the things you prescribed for your self preservation

     F                  G
Were mildly destructive at best, we were patient

    C                              Am
And wondered sometimes, "where you headed?"

    C                  Am
But oh no, no we never knew

   C                            Am
Despite all the things that you dreaded

                  F                                G
To find something fresh, something real, something true
