Am                   E
The only time i ever heard the voice of god
           F     C   E
Was in the silence of the night in the arms of the one i love
Dm    G C C/B Am
Staring at the ceiling up above
     G      E      Am
Like it contained the secrets of the stars

Am                   E
Any time i ever woke up in a dream
           F     C   E
I saw my shadow there staring back at me
Dm    G C C/B Am
Moving through the walls and wondering
     G      E      Am
As all the world rose up inside of me

F             E
And i long to hear the melody
     Am G F Dm
That one time played inside my mind
F          E
And to love another helplessly
   Am G F E F E E4    E
So breathing feels like putting out a fire

Am                   E
Any time my life flashes in front of me
           F     C   E
I see a child there as if on a screen
Dm    G  C  C/B  Am
Standing in the shadows flickering
     G      E      Am
For a moment i know what it means

Am                   E
All this time i lived inside a memory
           F     C   E
Daylight creeping in through a crack in the weathered seams
Dm    G C C/B Am
Severing the ties and trembling
     G      E      Am
Losing all the voices in the wind

F             E
And i long to hear the melody
     Am G F Dm
That one time played inside my mind
F          E
And to love another helplessly
   Am G F E F E E4    E
So breathing feels like putting out a fire
