Verse 

D                 A 
No I will not lay down 

D                  A                         G 
I will not live my life like a ghost in this town 

D        A               G            D 
I am not lonely swear to God I'm just alone 

Verse 

D              A 
I'm back on my feet 

D                   A               G 
I can just close my eyes and forget everything 

D           A            G             D 
My house is empty, every memory blown away 


D      Em           A               D 
Oh the sound of the wind through my bones 

         Em 
Makes me laugh 

D          A        G                D 
At all the bodies I kissed and never knew 


D      Em         A 
Oh the sound of a lover's sympathy 

        Em 
Falling down to the floor 

     A 
Just barely out of reach from me 

Verse 

D                A 
No I will not go back 

D                     A                   G 
Every word thats been hiding inside of my head 

D          A              G                 D 
Is running blindly look behind me nothing's left 

Verse 

D              A 
I can sit in a room 

D                 A                      G 
I can hear myself breathing and be quite amused 

D       A               G              D 
Life is simple like the wrinkles on my skin 

D      Em           A 
Oh the sound of the wind through my heart 

         G 
Makes me glad 

D           A               G       D 
For all the ones that never knew my name 


D      Em         A 
Oh the sound of a lover's sympathy 

         Em 
I had to go 


Could not stay here 

          A                        D 
They were always out of reach from me
