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