(intro) F5 G5

A5
Dare I ask you this?
      G5
Where do you stand as
                A5
a come and go acquaintance?
                     D5
I've been pondering around this
                     A5
bond for sometime now Where
         G5
have you been hiding in?
      A5            D5
Is it in the tall forest?
         A5            G5
Won't he listen to the voices
                 F5 G5
calling his name?
          A5    G5 F5 G5
Will he attempt?

A5
  I've been laying on the
C5         F5
other side where they are
           G5
all waving goodbye behind a
          A5
fake frown Feeding lies to
              C5
the ears of a brother that
             F5
has been lost, trying to find
  G5        A5        D5
a way back home but stumbles
       A5          D5
on the roof he made wandering
wandering

A5              G5
As he barks the words
that have no meaning
  A5
I try to paint a
picture in my mind of
D5                    A5
how things used to be As you
say your speech the blank
                   G5
static screen is trying to
                           F5
make the channel clear but gets
                                  D5 G5
interrupted by your careless heart

        A5
Walking backward straying away
        F5
looking at me with a
               A5
face afraid of being a false
witness to this never-ending case
The thought of empty-handedness
                 F5
is having its way So
                       A5
stop running away from me
              F5   D5
(let me go to much)
but we're
A5               F5    D5
far from our goodbyes The
A5               F5    D5
end lies in your hands
      A5 G5 C5        F5    D5
as we are keeping set minds
    A5  F5  D5        A5   G5 C5
the end lies in your hands
      F5      D5  A5
as we are keeping set minds
    A5
keeping minds

A5
  I've been laying on the
C5         F5
other side where they are
           G5
all waving goodbye behind a
          A5
fake frown Feeding lies to
              C5
the ears of a brother that
             F5
has been lost, trying to find
  G5        A5
a way back home

A5
  It's an empty page with
F5
growing age It's bound
to flourish again
