Verse 1:
Bb5
They've been carving
F#5 C#5
your name out in stone
Bb5
Building stairways
F#5 C#5
to lead you home

Though there's room up
F#5 C#5 Ab5
above I can tell you my love
Eb5 F#5
That I won't let you go

Bb5 F#5
There's a place in my heart
C#5 F5
where my courage is kept
Bb5 F#5
And I'm keeping it there
C#5 F5
till my mind is at rest
Bb5 F#5
It's the one bit of power
C#5 F5 Eb5 F#5
that I still have left in me?
Chorus 1:
Bb5
Now this room is
F#5
like a cage
C#5
I've been stuck
F5
in here for days
Bb5
Searching deep
F#5
inside my mind
C#5
Just to find a
F5
better place
Bb5
And I'm waiting for
F#5 C#5
you To pick up the
F5 Eb5 F#5
pieces and move along
Verse 3:
Bb5 F#5
There's a place on a street
C#5 F5
in a town that I know
Bb5 F#5
Where the earth doesn't move
C#5 F5
and the grass doesn't grow
Bb5 F#5
There's a chill in the air
C#5 F5
that goes straight to your bones
Eb5
I've got my hands in the ground
F#5
and I'm digging you up
(Repeat Chorus 1)

Bb5 F#5
When all colour starts to fade
C#5 F5
And the cage begins to break
Bb5 F#5
I give my body to the skies

Now I'm standing at the gates
Bb5 F#5
And I'm waiting for you
C#5 F5 Eb5 F#5
To pick up the pieces and move along
Chorus 2:
Bb5
Now this room is
F#5
like a cage
C#5
I've been stuck
F5
in here for days
Bb5
Searching deep
F#5
inside my mind
C#5
Just to find a
F5
better place
Bb5
And I'm waiting for
F#5 C#5
you To pick up the
F5 Eb5 F#m(hold)
pieces and move along
