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