[Intro] D Dno5add4 x4 [Verse 1]

D
I remember my mother's sister's husband's brother

G
Working in the gold mine full-time filling in for sunshine

D
Filing into tight lines of ordinary beehives

    Em
The door screams I hate you

         G
Hate you hanging around my blue jeans

D
Why is there no breeze? No currency of leaves

   Em
No current through the water wire. No feelings I can see

   D
I trust no emotion, I believe in locomotion

         Em
But I've turned to rust as we've discussed

         G                                                             D
Though I must have let you down too many times in the dirt and the dust

F#m Fm *See Note1 Em [Verse 2] Bm D/F# *See Note2 I have no idea how this happens, all of my maps have been overthrown

Bbm  Bm
Happenstance has changed my plans

                                F#m   Fm
So many times my heart has been outgrown

   Em
Now everybody's feeling all alone

                      Bm
Can't tell you who I am

                        Em
When everybody's feeling all alone

Can't tell you who I am [Break] Bbm Bm Bbm* G#m DII EmII GII F#mII (single strum) EmII Bbm Bm Bbm Am DII EmII GII GIII D Dno5add4 [Verse 3]

D
I am looking forward, towards 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

        Em                              G
And our voices lift so easily, A gift given accidentally

      D
When we're not sure we're not alone
