verse 1 
 D 
Hold your hands up to your chest 
 D 
And tell me what you find 
 D 
Out of you, a sparrow comes 
 D 
And sees without its eyes 


Pre-Chorus 1 
      Bm                      A               D 
Don't forget who you are even though you are hurt 
        Bm                   A              G 
You are caught in a wire and soon it will burst 

        D 
You can cry 
              Dmaj7 G 
Drinking your eyes 
                 Bm               A 
Do you miss the sadness when it's gone? (Gone) 
                      F#m    G 
And you let the river run wild (Gone) 
                          A 
And you let the river run wild 

verse 2 
 D 
I'm a shadow, I am cold 
 D 
And now I seek for warmth 
 D 
Stitch your skin onto my skin 
 D 
And we won't be alone
