C
My feet plow on from light to dawn
Am
My empty belly and my body aches ain't hard to take
G C
Next to the weight I carry in my chest
Am
A pound of flesh could never tip the scale that I've made
G F
I should have stayed, but I was never wise
G Am
I hear your voices in the wind that cuts the night
F G C
And I pray to whatever is listening things will be alright
Am
Oh, my boy, you're alive
G
Your heart's still beating
C Am
So don't you mind, don't you mind
G
We all drift sometimes
F G Am
I can still hear your feet as you ran from the house
F G
But knowing you won't be back
Am Em
Doesn't mean that I will stop waiting
F G Am
You told me then: Hold me down or hold me up to the fire
F G
But don't you dare hold me back
F G Am
I see your faces in the clouds that scar the night
F G C
And I pray to whoever is listening things will be alright
Am G
Then today I wake up feeling easy
C F
And find I'm on the more familiar roads
Am G
I got a darkness wrapped inside me
C F
But now it ain't so hard to let it go
Am G
So keep a candle burning in the window
C
I'm almost home
