Introduction: E5 F#4 D B5
C7M Bm7 Em/C Bm7
Looking at you I see her face
C7M Bm7 C7M
Through all these years, just waiting
Em7 C7M
It all catches up to you when you slow down
Bm7
I'm back in that yard,
C7M Bm7
tasting that shame
C7M Bm7 C7M Bm7
Of pushing her down, Of kids and her games
Em7 F#m7
...their strongholds
C#m7 A2 C#m7 A2
We had a bigger world - we had a better view
C#m7 A2
I guess I never fully realized then
G#m7 F#m7 A2 B2
What she lost when I cut that loss
(intro)
C7M Bm7 C7M Bm7
So she filled the void with unearthly friends
C7M Bm7 Em7 F#m7
Voices of hers - greater...
C#m7 A2 C#m7 A2
We had a bigger world - we had a better view
C#m7 A2
I wish she'd never told us about her voices
G#m7 F#m7 A2 B2
We were strong, we were much too strong
(intro) - *Never forgive - never forget *
Bb G# Gm Fm Eb Cm
We fed her shouts
For the collection of her voices
A G F#mEm D Bm
I was too weak to collect
But so, it turned out, was she
C7M Bm7 C7M Bm7
Now I can see she proved to be right
C7M Bm7
As she was called down
C7M
It's sad though...
Em7
...that I turned out to be one of her voices.
