Verse 1:
             Bbm
They've been carving 
     F#           C#
your name out in stone
          Bbm
Building stairways 
   F#       C#
to lead you home
               Bb
Though there's room up 
 F#         C#          Ab
above I can tell you my love
       Eb/G          F#
That I won't let you go


Inerlude: Bbm-F#-C#-F- x3, Eb/G--F#--


Verse 2:
          Bbm         F#
There's a place in my heart
         C#         F
where my courage is kept
        Bbm        F#
And I'm keeping it there
        C#         F
till my mind is at rest
         Bbm        F#
It's the one bit of power
     C#           F       Eb/G F#
that I still have left in me?


Chorus 1:
         Bbm
Now this room is
       F#
like a cage
           C#
I've been stuck
            F
in here for days
          Bbm
Searching deep
          F#
inside my mind
        C#
Just to find a
       F
better place
        Bbm
And I'm waiting for
F#     C#
you To pick up the
F          Eb/G  F#
pieces and move along


Verse 3:
          Bbm         F#
There's a place on a street
     C#          F
in a town that I know
          Bbm           F#
Where the earth doesn't move 
        C#            F
and the grass doesn't grow
          Bbm          F#
There's a chill in the air 
           C#              F
that goes straight to your bones
            Eb/G
I've got my hands in the ground 
        F#
and I'm digging you up


(Repeat Chorus 1)

Bridge: Silence
         Bbm              F#
When all colour starts to fade
        C#             F
And the cage begins to break
          Bbm          F#
I give my body to the skies
         C#             F
Now I'm standing at the gates
        Bbm         F#
And I'm waiting for you
   C#          F          Eb/G  F#
To pick up the pieces and move along

        Bbm
And I'm waiting for
F#     C#
you To pick up the
F          Eb/G  F#m(hold)
