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