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