E A7 B7 A – E A7 B7 A
That tiny voice carries a spell as it floats gently up to me drowning down
Every enterprise I attempt is a reminder why I shouldn't ever have been
F#m B7 C#m Ab – F#m Abm C#m Ab A
Keep myself occupied with dreams I cannot try because reality has a way
Of pressing out the truth, it's manner so uncouth but if I could stay here and pretend
E A7 B7 A – E A7 B7 A
I'll write a best seller about how it's easy to sing songs alone instead of around
Because no one can hear all those sounds the ones I struggle to explain as I put them down
F#m B7 C#m Ab – F#m Abm C#m Ab A
So take your baggage now, go spread it all through town. Your truth has nothing to do with me
And as the sun sets low, my voice a howling crow. A shrilling statement pained but achieved
E Bm A7 (Ab F#m) (4x)
(Instrumental)
E A7 B7 A – E A7 B7 A
I guess I just wanted you to know
that there are times when I can't leave the doors of my home
But then that tiny voice will ascend
and with it's lovely lilt a purpose manifests
end on E
