Capo 2


 G5                       D5
   I opened up the music box
                                  E5
I wish you would have changed the locks

To keep me from replaying
D5
All the feelings I've been saving
 G5                                D5
   I did not keep them locked up inside
                            E5
I did not take my steps in stride
                                      D5
Thought you were bluffing, trampled on you

Went from friends to nothing


 C5    G5          D5
  Radio turns to gold
 C5              G5              D5
  And paves the way to find my home
       C5 G5  D5
  When I'm alone
       C5 G5 D5
  When I'm alone


G5  E5 F#5  G5

G5                    D5
  Overeager and underway
                          E5
I risked it all, I had to say
                          D5
What opened me up for the beating
                     G5
But the heart is for bleeding
                       D5
With scraps of songs I paste along
                       E5
The seams of my clumsy tongue
                                D5
In hopes of creating the golden notes

That might bring you back to me
 

 C5    G5          D5
  Radio turns to gold
 C5              G5              D5
  And paves the way to find my home
       C5 G5  D5
  When I'm alone
       C5 G5 D5
  When I'm alone


G5  E5 F#5 C5 

G5 D5 E5 D5

G5
  Like phantoms on the highway
D5                             E5
After holiday, gritting their teeth
                                 D5
Racing to find a place for their soul
                                     G5
Or at least a place... that's less familiar
                        D5
We offer up our heart before
                             E5
The heart's invited or asked for
                                  D5
Oh no, here I go my friend, I'm repeating
                       G5
But the heart is for bleeding...
                        D5
And I've said all I can say
                        E5
I am retreating, on my way
                             D5
Music box, play my song I'll sing along
                       C5
To that bitterly sweet tone
  
  When I'm alone...
