(interlude) Am ( Am F C G )

Am                G                 F
  I think it?s alright to feel the same,
when everything falls apart in the hands from which they came,
Am                G                   C
  but still we rebuild every broken bone.
                   Am                  G
And I think it?s alright to feel the comfort
                 F
of thousands of angels singing down,
        Am                  G           C
sending solace through the clouds

                    C9 *   Am
Don?t tell me this goes away.
                   C       F
Down deeper, it?s all the same.

Am                                  F
  I?ve seen balls of light bounce around me, slowing time.
               C                                G                     Am
I wish I could open up your eyes the way you so effortlessly open mine.
                                     F
The way you would hold me down and flood my life with light;
             C                            G
I could just open every surface, I could see every angle.

Am           Am                 G
  Unless he votes to throw the fight
               F
his body will blister in bandages kept on all night,
Am                       G                  C
  and I think you'll be safer to hold your tongue.
Am                        G                F
  'Cause I think you find hope in lessons crammed to the back of your throat,
                Am                 G                  C
as every single bone inside of his body stands on its own.

                    C9 *   Am
Don?t tell me this goes away.
                   C       F
Down deeper, it?s all the same.
so throw it all away.

Am                                  F
  I?ve seen balls of light bounce around me, slowing time.
               C                                G                     Am
I wish I could open up your eyes the way you so effortlessly open mine.
                                     F
The way you would hold me down and flood my life with light;
             C                            G
I could just open every surface, I could see every angle.

Am
  Today I found your pictures,
Am
  I didn?t burn a single one?
Am                            G
  Now angels hang them on the wall.
                Am
But when those walls collapse inside me
                  F
And I?m still surrounded by your face,
           C                  G
I?ll sleep effortlessly after every time we say goodnight.
