Intro:E5 F#5 D5 B5

C5             B5 C5        B5
Looking at you I see her face
C5                         B5   C5
Through all these years, just waiting
    E5                                              C5
It all catches up to you when you slow down
B5                            C5               B5
I'm back in that yard, tasting that shame
       C5              B5        C5                  D5
Of pushing her down, Of kids and her games
            E5   F#5
...their strongholds
C#5                     A5        C#5                 A5
We had a bigger world - we had a better view
   C#5                           A5
I guess I never fully realized then
G#5                        F#5   A5  F#5
What she lost when I cut that loss

Intro
      C5                B5             C5        B5
So she filled the void with unearthly friends
C5          B5    E5  F#5
Voices of hers - greater...
C#5                     A5         C#5              A5
We had a bigger world - we had a better view


   C#5                                             A5
I wish she'd never told us about her voices
G#5                                 F#5     A5  F#5
We were strong, we were much too strong

Intro - *Never forgive - never forget*

We picked and pierced, we ripped and we tore

We hit and we scratched to make in her a hole

Glares and eyes - whispers and notes

Attached to her every pose


A5 G5 D5 F5 A5

( C5 Bb5 G#5 G5 F5 Eb5 C5 )
We fed her shouts

For the collection of her voices


( B5 A5 G5 F#5 E5 D5 B5 )
I was too weak to collect

But so, it turned out, was she

Both paid in soul for the cutting of that loss

Their ugly truth

Outnumbered by far her beautiful dream

And I closed my eyes

Were her eyes in yours already when we met?

Am I still paying debts to recover Life?


                              C5                 B5
Now I can see she proved to be right
      C5                  B5
As she was called down
       C5
It's sad though...
         E5
...that I turned out to be one of her voices.
