C7 Bm7 C7 Bm7
Looking at you I see her face
C7 Bm7 C7
Through all these years, just waiting
Em C7
It all catches up to you when you slow down
Bm7 C7 Bm7
I'm back in that yard, tasting that shame
C7 Bm7 C7 D
Of pushing her down, Of kids and her games
Em F#
...their strongholds
C#m A7 C#m A7
We had a bigger world - we had a better view
C#m A7
I guess I never fully realized then
G#m F#m A F#m
What she lost when I cut that loss
Intro
C7 Bm7 C7 Bm7
So she filled the void with unearthly friends
C7 Bm7 Em F#
Voices of hers - greater...
C#m A7 C#m A7
We had a bigger world - we had a better view
C#m A7
I wish she'd never told us about her voices
G#m F#m A F#m
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
Am G9 D5 F5 Am
( Cm Bb G# Gm Fm Eb Cm )
We fed her shouts
For the collection of her voices
( Bm A G F#m Em D Bm )
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?
C7 Bm7
Now I can see she proved to be right
C7 Bm7
As she was called down
C7
It's sad though...
Em
...that I turned out to be one of her voices.
