Intro: No Chord

Verse:

      E5                            D5
In my heart lies a dancer and it's glorified the rain

         A5                      E5
From the temple of water to the reason for my pain


          E5                            D5
There's a price to kindness. There's a bridge I've yet to cross

          A5                        E5
Where the temple of silence is the reason we get lost


      B5                      A5
But find me a partner that can stand the way I shame

       F#5                             B5
Of the past of my frame book, from the laughter to the lake

Mid-part: E5

Verse 2:

      E5                       D5
Oh, I try to be clever, oh, I try to be good

         A5                             E5
But I've messed up the same way that I always knew I would


          E5                             D5
There was dirt on the carpet, there was freedom in the smile

       A5                           E5
Of the one I chased after, oh, you sat there all the while


      Ab5                           B5     
And I don?t claim to be more than I ever have been

         A5                             F#5
But that night I was badness, oh, that night I was framed

         A5                             F#5
Oh, that night I was madness, oh, that night I was shamed

Mid-part 2: [ E5 D5 A5 E5 ] x2

Spoken part: (E) all the way

"So you will change today. The lights you so frequently cover will begin to shine again. 
The pathways you trapped so blindly will start your purpose, or disappear. 
The drastic decisiveness that you must learn to inherit will make its first cautious journey 
upwards into your inverted but patient saddle.
I would like to be your friend. Life, a gift you so often squander is 
precious as it has always been. And faith, though hidden, still sits above 
your head. So pull back the morphine curtains, go wash and push those demons clean...
