{intro} 
 

     G5               D5   C5               C5 
Everywhere I see the signs, pointing one direction 
        G5                 D5   C5               C5 
No more twists or crooked turns, leaving room for doubt 
        G5                D5     C5             C5 
Where I used to take the time for quiet and reflection 
      G5             D5     C5           C5 
Now I only hear the noise of what I am without 
 

           G5                G5           C5             C5 
I see them walking hand in hand, and my eyes just want to linger 
         G5               G5     C5                C5 
On those golden wedding bands, wrapped around their fingers 
       F5             F5     A5            A5 
By the time I turn away, I feel it once again 
              G5                D5   A5           C5 
I'm back in this familiar place, outside looking in 
 

G5  D5  A5  C5 
{instrumental} 
 
Baby, all the tears between us couldn't fill the spaces 

And all the word we grasped at, they just fell away 

I kept waiting on forgiveness to fix the broken places 

But nothing even like it ever came my way 
 
And tonight I drove around, and the street came up before me 

I took a turn and then I found this old house coming toward me 

I heard the sound a heart must make when a memory's caving in 

Oh baby, what a hungry place, outside looking in

{instrumental} 
 

         G5               G5         C5            C5 
It's the hardest kind of need that never knows a reason 
       G5             G5              C5               C5 
Are we such a lonely breed, or just born in a lonely season 
      A5                A5                 F5            F5 
Baby, it's all in the eyes, it's where the reckoning begins 
              A5             A5                 F5                  F5 
It's where we linger like a sigh, it's where we long to be pulled in 
              A5               A5         F5            F5 
It's where we learn to say goodbye without saying anything 
          G5                D5       A5      C5 
Standing on the borderline, outside looking in
