Am       C           G 
I open pockets full of sand 
Am     C                    G 
from the house that I was building 
Am       C                           G          
Bricks and sticks and stones will fall when you shake them down 
Am C               G 
Emptiness is not fulfilling 
 
 
Chorus: 
 
Am     C    G       Em 
If I remember not and ashes fly 
Am      C     G           Em 
this will be my lot, I'll say goodbye 
Am   C        G                   Em 
words cannot be rhymed when life is thin 
Am    C         G         Em
Nothing will I find, when I chase the wind

Am    C                     G 
The world before me when I'm young 
Am       C                    G 
I have the strength to go exploring 
Am             C                G 
There's no definition to the sights in at the end 
Am         C              G 
You were the one I was ignoring

Please fix any mistakes. The solo's kind of sloppy, on my part...
I'm not sure if I got in all the notes ect.
