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