[Intro]
A
[Verse 1]
A
I woke up before the sun rose
Did my best to walk on tip toes
C#m
Needles and pins
Bm D
Cus if you heard the way I pace around this room your mind would race for the reasons
and sins
A C#m
I never learned to wear a tie and go to work and tell you lies like everything's ok
Bm
Though sometimes it is for a little while
And I can live in between those smiles
D
And patiently wait
[Chorus]
Bm D
When it feels like home where you can't be found cus she haunts the alone and you need
A E
her now
Bm D A E
Revered like gold in your plastic crown when your kingdom falls and you lay it down
Bm E
Before the next breathe you need the grace
A
To breathe out
[Verse 2]
A
I've been talking faster I've been
C#m
Looking for distraction trying to loosen up some days
Bm
Ain’t it funny how we can't remember
D
Most our lives while a few words never mercifully fade
A
So I beg you honey take some pictures
C#m
Frame them hang them high and let's set fire to the room
Bm
Cus I think I like the lighting better when it's wrapped up in burning time like
D
sweaters for your cold winter blue
[Chorus]
Bm D
When it feels like home where you can't be found cus she haunts the alone and you need
A E
her now
Bm D A E
Revered like gold in your plastic crown when your kingdom falls and you lay it down
Bm E
Before the next breathe you need the grace
A
To breathe out
[Bridge]
C#m D A E
Oh have I lost some keys in the dust as I cleaned up
C#m D Bm E
Oh don't it always seem to come as you let go
[Chorus]
Bm D
When it feels like home where you can't be found cus she haunts the alone and you need
A E
her now
Bm D A E
Revered like gold in your plastic crown when your kingdom falls and you lay it down
