Capo 5

Intro : Am G F  x2

Am             G                       F
And as it gets dark in this house of hallways
Am           G                 F
And no corridor leads to the stairs
Am                   G                   F
With still wet black paint on all the windows
Am          G                      F
We got no clocks cause time don't care here

Am              G                  C     
So tell me your name young noble stranger
Am               G                 C
And tell me just what we're doing here
Am                G                  C
Have you painted walls with all the answers
Dm                                  G
Have you hidden doors with all our fears

                    C                                              G
What he said is the soul's rock hard but the heart's trapped underneath
        Am                                             G
And the weight of it all gets enough just to crush the best out of you and me
       Am                    C                  Am        G      F
But I swear that there's someone who cares here enough to set us free
           Am                                          G
And if the world don't turn just enough to bring her honest
                                             
Then I guess we're better off forgotten

Am G F 

Am                 G                      F
The walls stay too thin in this house of hallways
Am                   G              F
They let through the echoes and the stares
Am                   G               F
And they'll bleed bright red with scribbled riddles
Am                       G            F
Scratched out of their panels by angered air

Am                  G                  C
Cause God knows I've made all my own choices
Am             G                  C
And if I drown alone it's cause I choose
Am               G                C
To spend my time drinking in the stairwells
Dm                                    G
When we've both got way too much to prove

          C                                              G
Cause the soul's rock hard but the heart's trapped underneath
        Am                                             G
And the weight of it all gets enough just to crush the best out of you and me
       Am                    C                  Am        G      F
But I swear that there's someone who cares here enough to set us free
           Am                                          G
And if the world don't turn just enough to bring her honest
                                             
Then I guess we're better off forgotten
