[Actually in A; capo 2.]
[I'm unsure about the pre-chorus and bridge, where I've written
F/A F/A Am Am. It might in fact be Am Am F/A F/A. Frankly, it sounds okay either way. See which sounds best for you.] G F Am Am G F Am Am [intro] G D/F# C/E C Everywhere I see the signs, pointing one direction G D/F# C/E C No more twists or crooked turns, leaving room for doubt G D/F# C/E C Where I used to take the time for quiet and reflection G D/F# C/E C Now I only hear the noise of what I am without G G C(9)/G C(9)/G I see them walking hand in hand, and my eyes just want to linger G G C(9)/G C(9)/G On those golden wedding bands, wrapped around their fingers F/A F/A Am Am By the time I turn away, I feel it once again G D/F# Am7 C I'm back in this familiar place, outside looking in G D/F# Am7 C [instrumental]
Baby, all the tears between us couldn't fill the spaces
And all the word we grasped at, they just fell away
I kept waiting on forgiveness to fix the broken places
But nothing even like it ever came my way
And tonight I drove around, and the street came up before me
I took a turn and then I found this old house coming toward me
I heard the sound a heart must make when a memory's caving in
Oh baby, what a hungry place, outside looking in
G F Am Am G F Am Am [instrumental] G G C(9)/G C(9)/G It's the hardest kind of need that never knows a reason G G C(9)/G C(9)/G Are we such a lonely breed, or just born in a lonely season F/A F/A Am Am Baby, it's all in the eyes, it's where the reckoning begins F/A F/A Am Am It's where we linger like a sigh, it's where we long to be pulled in F/A F/A Am Am(?) It's where we learn to say goodbye without saying anything G D/F# Am7 C Standing on the borderline, outside looking in G D/F# Am7 C G D/F# Am7 C [instrumental; repeat and fade]
