Bm           D                G         Em 
I   built a home there in the trees 
Bm               D  
With splintered hands 
                 A        Em  
And bruised and bloodied knees  

Bm                       D                      
One day your voice came riding on the breeze: 
G     Em  
"Ooh, ooh.  
Bm                    D                           A 
You don't have to be alone, you don't have to be alone,  
                       Em  
 you don't have to be alone" (x2) 

Bm                    D                   G        Em 
Your voice touched my skin and filled my bones  
Bm                        D 
It's running through the trees  
          G         Em 
Like the wind that blows  

Bm                 D                            
You set my words alive like skipping stones:  
   G   Em 
"Ooh, ooh."  
Bm                      D                             A 
I thought I had to be alone, I thought I had to be alone  
                       Em 
I thought I had to be alone.  (x2)  

Bm            D               G        Em 
Empty out my pockets full of light  
Bm           D 
Filling riverbeds  
      G            Em 
With tears turned dry  

Bm                   D                        
The earth claps its hands in perfect time:  
G      Em 
"Ooh, ooh." 
Bm                      D                         A  
No more singing all alone, no more singing all alone  
                      Em 
No more singing all alone. (x2) 

Bm               D           G         Em 
The clock grows old in the grandfather sky  
Bm              D                    G        Em 
The lock grows cold just waiting for me to die 
Bm               D               G               Em  
And all of the wrinkles that my tears have left behind:  


Bm             D                  A                    Em 
They're just lines, they're just lines, they're just lines  
Bm             D                  A                    G 
They're just lines, they're just lines, they're just lines  
Bm             D                  A                    Em 
They're just lines, they're just lines, they're just lines  
Bm             D                  A                    G 
They're just lines, they're just lines, they're just lines!
