A                        Db 
No one knows why we were taught to look away 
D 
There might be something wrong with me 
Dm 
There's nothing that I can't believe 
E            Db       Gbm                 D         Dm 
Are you listening two thousand miles from here? 
                        A 
Is the same sky just as clear? 

A 

A                     Db 
Out of the window the slow light morning 
D                      Dm 
First hits your hands, touches your face 
A                          Db 
Though it's uncomfortable, though it is awkward 
D                     Dm 
Days leave the night, eyes in the light 

A                    Db 
The only time you're listening 
D                        Dm 
When we run from all the things we could say 
A                              Db 
I don't know what you could be hearing 
D                       Dm 
The sounds have gone so far, far away

Are the crickets just as clear?
