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