VERSE
A                   G                   C           D      A    A/G
dead leaves and the dirty ground when I know you're not around
shiny tops and soda pops when i hear you lips make a sound
       F             G       A
when i hear you lips make a sound

thirty notes in the mailbox will tell you that i'm coming home
and i think i'm gonna stick around for a while so you're not alone

if you can hear a piano fall you can hear me coming down the hall
if i could just hear your pretty voice i don't think i'd neeed to see at all

soft hair and a velvet tongue i want to give you what yo give to me
and every breath that is in your lungs is a tiny little gift to me

D                             A
i didn't feel so bad til the sun went down
D
then i come home
                  F
no one to wrap my arms around
              G
wrap my arms around

well any man with a microphone can tell you what loves the most
and you know why you love at all if you've thinking of the holy ghost
