This is not intended to sound like the album. This is how I play a stripped down
version of the song with a solo acoustic guitar.


Bm (x24432@1)D (xx0232@1)G (320003@1)G (320003@1)        Bm (x24432@1)               D (xx0232@1)I was looking down at you smiling underneath
      G (320003@1)                        GFor (320003@1)once I held you tight, but shadow hands grabbed at me
        Bm (x24432@1)                                DYou're (xx0232@1)head was in the clouds, now those clouds are in your head
G (320003@1)                            GIt's (320003@1)when you needed me, so I listened to what you said


Bm (x24432@1)                      D (xx0232@1) Look another year went by,
            GThey (320003@1)keep passing by,
    GBut (320003@1)damn I didn't even die,
     Bm (x24432@1)               DToo (xx0232@1)old and slow I've grown,
    G (320003@1)            GI (320003@1)fought time but lost


Bm (x24432@1)D (xx0232@1)G (320003@1)G (320003@1)
        Bm (x24432@1)                     D (xx0232@1)It was love like a callus you scarred enough to be
  G (320003@1)                         GTough (320003@1)and immune, your body adapts you see
    Bm (x24432@1)                   D (xx0232@1)To all above my head, and all below my feet
G (320003@1)                                 GNo (320003@1)that's one freedom you'll never take from me


Bm (x24432@1)                     D (xx0232@1) Look another year went by,
