Introduction:

                             C                                                         Am 
Just above my head, I could hear your heart beating
         C                                                           Am 
But oh, would not stand to let you in.
                   C                                                   Am 
So often that what you long for and that what's your terror
 F                                             G 
Will stand side by side in the end you'll decide
                   C                                               Am 
When the picture's too tearful to look on,
                           C                                                           Am 
Will it show the walls we could never break down,
               C                                           Am 
Or the spaces left empty from too many places
 F                                                               G 
For the ones who just can't hang around
                                 Am 
Can you hum him home?
                         C 
Or hum home him?
             F                                                                     C 
Is it something that seeps slowly from your skin?
                     Am                                                                 C 
'Cause oh, how it drips drolly from your sense of what's a sin,
                     F 
I know that it's never been easy
                                   C 
But so many things, well they've just never been! Oh, no no no!

                                       C                                                       Am 
But it's sure your heart, it was always a pure one,
                     C                                           Am 
You could feel it in each second guess,
                 C                                                           Am 
But the things you prescribed for your self preservation
           F                                   G 
Were mildly destructive at best, we were patient
         C                                                           Am 
And wondered sometimes, "where you headed?"
         C                                   Am 
But oh no, no we never knew
       C                                                       Am 
Despite all the things that you dreaded
                                     F                                                               G 
To find something fresh, something real, something true
