[Intro]
D Gadd9 Aadd4 Aadd9 x2
[Verse 1]
D Gadd9 Dmaj7/F# A Forgotten eyes are the ones which we lose D Gadd9 Dmaj7/F# A Forgotten hands are the ones which we choose D Gadd9 Dmaj7/F# A To let go of, but it is no less a bruise D Gadd9 Dmaj7/F# A On the collective arm keeping us high and gone D Gadd9 Dmaj7/F# A Forgotten dance is the one left at birth D Gadd9 Dmaj7/F# A Forgotten plants in the fossils of earth D Gadd9 G/B A And they've long passed but they are no less the dirt D Gadd9 Dmaj7/F# A Of the common soil keeping us dry and warm
[Chorus]
D Dmaj7 D7 The wound has no direction Gmaj7 D/F# Em7 A7 Everybody needs a home and deserves protection, hmm-mm
[Verse 2]
D Gadd9 Dmaj7/F# A Hollow-eyed on Eddie street no sirens to hear D Gadd9 Dmaj7/F# A Just trash and soiled needles clawing the veneer D Gadd9 Dmaj7/F# A And no crying but it is no less a tear D Gadd9 Dmaj7/F# A On the common cheek with which we smile D Gadd9 Dmaj7/F# A Hollow-eyed on Eddie, is it they or is it I D Gadd9 Dmaj7/F# A Is it me who is more hollow as I'm quickly passing by? D Gadd9 G/B A And the poison is killing them, but then so am I D Gadd9 Dmaj7/F# A As I turn away
[Chorus]
D Dmaj7 D7 The wound has no direction Gmaj7 D/F# Em7 A7 Everybody needs a home and deserves protection, hmm-mm
[Outro]
D Gadd9 Dmaj7/F# A Forgotten tongue is the language of love D Gadd9 Dmaj7/F# A Forgotten tongue is the language of love D Gadd9 Dmaj7/F# A Forgotten tongue is the language of love D Gadd9 Dmaj7/F# A Forgotten tongue
