Chords

Listen to song for strumming pattern and timing.
 G                       D
   I opened up the music box

                                  Em
I wish you would have changed the locks
To keep me from replaying
D
All the feelings I've been saving

 G                                D
   I did not keep them locked up inside

                            Em
I did not take my steps in stride

                                      D
Thought you were bluffing, trampled on you
Went from friends to nothing
 C    G          D
  Radio turns to gold

 C              G              D
  And paves the way to find my home

       C G  D
  When I'm alone

       C G D
  When I'm alone
G Em F#m G
G                    D
  Overeager and underway

                          Em
I risked it all, I had to say

                          D
What opened me up for the beating

                     G
But the heart is for bleeding

                       D
With scraps of songs I paste along

                       Em
The seams of my clumsy tongue

                                D
In hopes of creating the golden notes
That might bring you back to me
 C    G          D
  Radio turns to gold

 C              G              D
  And paves the way to find my home

       C G  D
  When I'm alone

       C G D
  When I'm alone
G Em F#m C G D Em D
G
  Like phantoms on the highway

D                             Em
After holiday, gritting their teeth

                                 D
Racing to find a place for their soul

                                     G
Or at least a place... that's less familiar

                        D
We offer up our heart before

                             Em
The heart's invited or asked for

                                  D
Oh no, here I go my friend, I'm repeating

                       G
But the heart is for bleeding...

                        D
And I've said all I can say

                        Em
I am retreating, on my way

                             D
Music box, play my song I'll sing along

                       C
To that bitterly sweet tone
When I'm alone...
