F A F
As the day breaks through the doorway
A G F
and i'm still chained to this house
A F
but you call me and I follow
A G F
and act like i'm so proud
A F
still reading the sidewalk
A G F
and it smells like morning news
A F
and I don't know why I still can't
A G C
seem to pull away from you
F A
Watch the window
G C
time means nothing
F A
watch the window
G
'til I see you coming
F C
Born a beggar
F
will you ever
A G F
see me more than Pavlov's hungry dog
C
see no colours
F
live another
A G F A
day to feed on everything you are...
F A - G
and you are
When the day sleeps and the sunshine
no longer burns my eyes
and the sound of your footsteps
is the only thing that lies
between me and the feeling
that life fills these four walls
that cage me completely
just waiting on your call
F A
Watch the window
G C
time means nothing
F A
watch the window
G
'til I see you coming
F C
Born a beggar
F
will you ever
A G F
see me more than Pavlov's hungry dog
C
see no colours
F
live another
A G F A
day to feed on everything you are...
F A - G
and you are
I run for you
a fall so hard
my secrets are buried in the yard
