Capo 5

Intro : A5 G5 F5  x2

A5             G5                       F5
And as it gets dark in this house of hallways
A5           G5                 F5
And no corridor leads to the stairs
A5                   G5                   F5
With still wet black paint on all the windows
A5          G5                      F5
We got no clocks cause time don't care here

A5              G5                  C5     
So tell me your name young noble stranger
A5               G5                 C5
And tell me just what we're doing here
A5                G5                  C5
Have you painted walls with all the answers
D5                                  G5
Have you hidden doors with all our fears

                    C5                                              G5
What he said is the soul's rock hard but the heart's trapped underneath
        A5                                             G5
And the weight of it all gets enough just to crush the best out of you and me
       A5                    C5                  A5        G5      F5
But I swear that there's someone who cares here enough to set us free
           A5                                          G5
And if the world don't turn just enough to bring her honest
                                             
Then I guess we're better off forgotten

A5 G5 F5 

A5                 G5                      F5
The walls stay too thin in this house of hallways
A5                   G5              F5
They let through the echoes and the stares
A5                   G5               F5
And they'll bleed bright red with scribbled riddles
A5                       G5            F5
Scratched out of their panels by angered air

A5                  G5                  C5
Cause God knows I've made all my own choices
A5             G5                  C5
And if I drown alone it's cause I choose
A5               G5                C5
To spend my time drinking in the stairwells
D5                                    G5
When we've both got way too much to prove

          C5                                              G5
Cause the soul's rock hard but the heart's trapped underneath
        A5                                             G5
And the weight of it all gets enough just to crush the best out of you and me
       A5                    C5                  A5        G5      F5
But I swear that there's someone who cares here enough to set us free
           A5                                          G5
And if the world don't turn just enough to bring her honest
                                             
Then I guess we're better off forgotten
