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