C#m E A F#m
I built a home there in the trees
C#m E
With splintered hands
B F#m
And bruised and bloodied knees
C#m E
One day your voice came riding on the breeze:
A F#m
"Ooh, ooh.
C#m E B
You don't have to be alone, you don't have to be alone,
F#m
you don't have to be alone" (x2)
C#m E A F#m
Your voice touched my skin and filled my bones
C#m E
It's running through the trees
A F#m
Like the wind that blows
C#m E
You set my words alive like skipping stones:
A F#m
"Ooh, ooh."
C#m E B
I thought I had to be alone, I thought I had to be alone
F#m
I thought I had to be alone. (x2)
C#m E A F#m
Empty out my pockets full of light
C#m E
Filling riverbeds
A F#m
With tears turned dry
C#m E
The earth claps its hands in perfect time:
A F#m
"Ooh, ooh."
C#m E B
No more singing all alone, no more singing all alone
F#m
No more singing all alone. (x2)
C#m E A F#m
The clock grows old in the grandfather sky
C#m E A F#m
The lock grows cold just waiting for me to die
C#m E A F#m
And all of the wrinkles that my tears have left behind:
C#m E B F#m
They're just lines, they're just lines, they're just lines
C#m E B A
They're just lines, they're just lines, they're just lines
C#m E B F#m
They're just lines, they're just lines, they're just lines
C#m E B A
They're just lines, they're just lines, they're just lines!
