You Are My Face

Intro: D

D
remember my mother’s
Sister’s husband’s brother

G
Working in the goldmine full-time
Filling in for sunshine

D
Filing into tight lines
Of ordinary beehives
G
The door screams I hate you
Hate you hanging around my blue 
jeans

D
Why is there no breeze
No currency of leaves

G
No current through the water wire
No feelings I can see

D
I trust no emotion
Continues after the ad
I believe in locomotion

G
But I've turned to rust as we've 
discussed
Though I must have let you down
too many times

D
In the dirt and the dust

Bm, Am, Em, G

Bm, D, Bm, F#m, Em

Bm
I have no idea how this happens
                             D
All of my maps have been overthrown
Bm
Happenstance has changed my plans
So many times my heart has been 
   F#m
outgrown
              Em
Now everybody’s feeling all alone
              D
Can’t tell you who I am
                 Bm
When everybody’s feeling all alone

Can’t tell you who I am

Bm, Am, Em, D x2

D
I am looking forward
Toward the shadows tracing bones
G
Our faces stitched and sewing
Our houses hemmed into homes
D
Trying to be thankful
Our stories fit into phones
G
And our voices lift so easily
A gift given accidentally
D
When we’re not sure
We’re not alone
