Piano intro

   Em7            A                 D                          G                         Em7  A
a siren from somewhere floats through the wood of your door--
                     Bm
you break down, you offer a prayer, a prayer to the
   Em7           A             D                    G                         Em7  A
feeling you get that collects like the dust in the corners
           Bm
it's all around you.


Bm                       G                       D                 A               Em7  (B Bb A)
"whose footsteps are these and why do they stop at my door?
Bm                 G                D                 A                     Em7  (B Bb A)
a shadow behind me, i swear that i've seen him before"


Em7    Bm  A
"leave me alone
Em7        Bm        A
i already told you all that i know
                 Em7    Bm  A
won't you leave me alone
Em7             Bm             A
why did you come here why can't you find your way--"


Bm                       G                       D                 A               Em7  (B Bb A)
home isn't safe but you can't run now that would be suicide
Bm                       G                       D                 A                 Em7  (B Bb A)
they can't not know, they can't know, you don't know but this isn't right


   Em7            A                 D                          G                         Em7  A
a moment's conclusion floats through a premise of blood,
                     Bm
proud and dissonant... here in the
   Em7            A                 D               G                         Em7  A
feeling you get that forgets to give warning before it comes
                     Bm
to the dead and the innocent, in symbols it's:


Bm                       G                       D                 A               Em7  (B Bb A)
"whose hands are these and why do they stare in such mad intent?
Bm              G               D             A                          Em7  (B Bb A)
why can't i just be that little boy lost in the crowd again?"

Em7    Bm     A
"leave me alone
Em7        Bm    A
i already did, more than they could have done
Em7   Bm     A
leave me alone
Em7                        Bm              A
but where did she come from? no-one was supposed to be--"

Bm                       G                       D                 A               Em7  (B Bb A)
home isn't there unless the man who once lived there is still alive
Bm                       G                       D                 A               Em7  (B Bb A)
you don't not know, you don't know, all you know is this isn't right.

Em7 A D G
