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