(interlude) Am ( Am F C G )

Am                G              
  I think it's alright to feel 
   F
the same,
when everything falls apart in the 
hands from which they came,
Am                G              
  but still we rebuild every 
     C
broken bone.
                   Am              
And I think it's alright to feel 
    G
the comfort
                 F
of thousands of angels singing down,
        Am                  G     
sending solace through the clouds
      C


                    C9*   Am
Don't tell me this goes away.
                   C       F
Down deeper, it's all the same.

Am                                
  I've seen balls of light bounce 
  F
around me, slowing time.
               C                   
I wish I could open up your eyes 
             G                  
the way you so effortlessly open 
   Am
mine.
The way you would hold me down and 
  F
flood my life with light;
Continues after the ad
             C                     
I could just open every surface, I 
       G
could see every angle.

Am           Am                 G
  Unless he votes to throw the fight
               F
his body will blister in bandages 
kept on all night,
Am                       G       
  and I think you'll be safer to 
           C
hold your tongue.
Am                        G      
  'Cause I think you find hope in
          F
 lessons crammed to the back of your
 throat,
                Am                 
as every single bone inside of his 
G                  C
body stands on its own.

                    C9*   Am
Don't tell me this goes away.
                   C       F
Down deeper, it's all the same.
so throw it all away.

Am                                
  I've seen balls of light bounce

Am
  Today I found your pictures,
Am
  I didn't burn a single one…
Am                            G
  Now angels hang them on the wall.
                Am
But when those walls collapse inside
 me
                  F
And I'm still surrounded by your 
face,
           C                  G
I'll sleep effortlessly after every 
time we say goodnight.
