G                    C/G      G   
Been so many days of longing now
Em                         B
Why should it ever be this far
                     Am
Where I get frightened
          C/G*         B                                   C/G* B
I could never gather birds enough to carry 'round your heart

G                        C/G           G   
But I see traces of your thoughts out here
      Em                  B
I see a sight; I hear a sound
      Am              C/G*               B                            C/G* B 
I only comfort in the brittleness of days when I can hold what I just found

         C/G*    G            B*    Em      
In the untired eyes of the laughing child
  C/G               G         B*
And the dirtiest sweater he owns
C/G*                  G
Early, sun-warmed pine
B*                       Em
And all those life-like sins
C/G                     G             B*
That will pull out the memories to show
B                          
I'm not leavin' alone
C/G*         B         G (intro)
I'm not leavin' alone

If just that weather-beatin' plane was here
Haven't seen it since I came
Can only wonder if it's near or in the skies
When this damn city sounds the same

And sometimes I'm just a tangle in this trampled wheat
Shirk a-like a losing dog
If just tonight that I could be where you are near
And just forget where I am lost

In the untired eyes of the laughing child
And the dirtiest sweater he owns
Early, sun-warmed pine
And all those life-like sins
That will pull out the memories to show
I'm not leavin' alone
I'm not leavin' alone
