Intro (with harmonica):
Am G Am G Am - Fmaj7 C G Am x2
G Am G Am
I heard a sound when I was a child
Fmaj7 C G Am
someone was walking through the pillow that night
G Am G Am
the snow muted the pitch of night
Fmaj7 C G Am
a shadow approached across the field in white
G Am G Am
it's only me it's only me
Fmaj7 C G Am
and the sound of my own heart it startled me
G Am G Am
as I drifted from the dark room
Fmaj7 C G Am
face lifted from the paper moon
G Am G Am
reflected in the orbit bath
Fmaj7 C G F
he manages to say before he starts to laugh
E F E Dm
you can't always trust the darkness and the dust
Esus4 E F G C
but me I'm just a man it's more than I can understand
G C G C
it's only me its only me
Fmaj7 C G Am
(Harmonica)
G Am G Am
The white noise falls away
Fmaj7 C G Am
to reveal the perfect day
G Am G Am
where roses bloomed out of thin air
Fmaj7 C G Am
and music rose from down the buried stairs
G Am G Am
it's only mine it's only mine
Fmaj7 C G Am
I grew it in the shade when the sun couldn't shine
G Am G Am
now there's always someone waiting at the mirror
Fmaj7 C G Am
she stares like she knows me like a headlights deer
G Am G Am
and there's a twin in the other room
Fmaj7 C G F
she's always sowing and singing her songs of doom
E F E Dm
and at times I don't know why tears come to my eyes
Esus4 E F G Am
and what if I go blind as they flow out of my mind
G C G C
it worries me it worries me
Fmaj7 C G F
that there's someone on my mind that I don't see
F C F C
I close my eyes to disappear into the fields of stars between my ears
F G F C G F E
the dark as they overlap we follow one another as we fade to black
F E Dm Esus4 E
F C G C G C G C F C G C
it's only night it's only night
G Am G Am
An ultrasound when I was alive
Fmaj7 C G Am
the shadows go spying on the ones in the wild
G Am G Am
they dip their arrows into the sea
Fmaj7 C G Am
they wash their arms as they wait for me
G Am G Am
they wait for me they wait for me
G Am G Am
hey wait for me hey wait for me
