[Inro] F G Em Am Dm7 G [Verse 1]
C                 Am
There’s dust on strings I used to know

Dm7               G7
A quiet place I rarely go

C                  Em
The light comes in, but not too bright

Fmaj7              G7
I sit alone in soft respite
[Verse 2]
C                  Am
My fingers graze the wooden frame

Dm7               G7
The notes come soft, they feel the same

C                  Em
I hum a tune I never wrote

Fmaj7              G
It rises slow into my throat
[Chorus]
F                  G7
I thought I lost her to the voices in my room

Em          G   Am               F
But she’s still here beneath the noises

Dm                G
If she knew how, it'd come to be

Em                  Fmaj7      G
What would be her honest decree? ooooohhhh
[Verse 3]
C                  Am
This stage is small, more than I need

Dm7               G7
The lights don’t blind but give me heat

C                        F
I belt like no one’s, watching me now

Fmaj7              G
Each note a vow, each breath allowed
[Chorus]
F                  G7
I thought I lost her to the voices in my room

Em          G   Am               F
But she’s still here beneath the noises

Dm                G
If she knew how, it'd come to be

Em                  Fmaj7      G
What would be her honest decree? ooooohhhh
[Bridge]
Am                 D7
They called me “gifted,” bruised my sound

Dm7                G7
But never let me stand my ground

Fmaj7               Em
So I went quiet, soft, unseen

A7                  Em  G7
But silence isn’t always keen

F                   G7
Look at the mess I made with all this pain

Em                  Am           F
Somehow made space for love to reign 

Dm7                 G7
He picks up pieces they ignored

A7              Em        G
The ones never held - or adored
[Chorus]
F                  G7
I thought I lost her to the voices in my room

Em          G   Am               F
But she’s still here beneath the noises

Dm7                G
If she knew this, that it would come to be

Em                  Fmaj7      G
What would be her honest decree? ooooohhhh
[Final Chorus]
F                  G7
I’m not returning - I was here

Em          G       Am         F
He was the one who brought me near

Dm7                G
The girl who hid behind the noise

Fmaj7                  G
Now walks away - with voice and poise
[Ending] F G Em Am Dm7 G Fmaj7 C
