C Am
Just above my head, I could hear your heart beating
C Am
But oh, would not stand to let you in.
C Am
So often that what you long for and that what's your terror
F G
Will stand side by side in the end you'll decide
C Am
When the picture's too tearful to look on,
C Am
Will it show the walls we could never break down,
C Am
Or the spaces left empty from too many places
F G
For the ones who just can't hang around
Am
Can you hum him home?
C
Or hum home him?
F C
Is it something that seeps slowly from your skin?
Am C
'Cause oh, how it drips drolly from your sense of what's a sin,
F
I know that it's never been easy
C
But so many things, well they've just never been! Oh, no no no!
F G F G F G Am
C Am
But it's sure your heart, it was always a pure one,
C Am
You could feel it in each second guess,
C Am
But the things you prescribed for your self preservation
F G
Were mildly destructive at best, we were patient
C Am
And wondered sometimes, "where you headed?"
C Am
But oh no, no we never knew
C Am
Despite all the things that you dreaded
F G
To find something fresh, something real, something true
