Looking at you I see her face
C7                         Bm7   C7
Through all these years, just waiting
    Em                                              C7
It all catches up to you when you slow down
Bm7                            C7               Bm7
I'm back in that yard, tasting that shame
       C7              Bm7        C7                  D
Of pushing her down, Of kids and her games
            Em   F#
...their strongholds
C#m                     A7        C#m                 A7
We had a bigger world - we had a better view
   C#m                           A7
I guess I never fully realized then
G#m                        F#m   A  F#m
What she lost when I cut that loss

Intro
      C7                Bm7             C7        Bm7
So she filled the void with unearthly friends
C7          Bm7    Em  F#
Voices of hers - greater...
C#m                     A7         C#m              A7
We had a bigger world - we had a better view


   C#m                                             A7
I wish she'd never told us about her voices
G#m                                 F#m     A  F#m
We were strong, we were much too strong

Intro - *Never forgive - never forget*

We picked and pierced, we ripped and we tore

We hit and we scratched to make in her a hole

Glares and eyes - whispers and notes

Attached to her every pose


Am G9 D5 F5 Am

( Cm Bb G# Gm Fm Eb Cm )
We fed her shouts

For the collection of her voices


( Bm A G F#m Em D Bm )
I was too weak to collect

But so, it turned out, was she

Both paid in soul for the cutting of that loss

Their ugly truth

Outnumbered by far her beautiful dream

And I closed my eyes

Were her eyes in yours already when we met?

Am I still paying debts to recover Life?


                              C7                 Bm7
Now I can see she proved to be right
      C7                  Bm7
As she was called down
       C7
It's sad though...
         Em
...that I turned out to be one of her voices.
