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