Intro: B, G, B, G, B, G, B, G,
B E
Your heart sings like a kettle
G B
And your words, they boil away like steam.
B E
And a lie burns long while the truth bites quick,
G B
A heart is built for both it seems.
B E
You are lonely as a church,
G B
Despite the queuing out your door.
B E G B
I am empty as a promise, no more.

I was salted by your hunger,
G B
Now you've gone and lost your appetite
B E G B
And a little bird is every bit as handy in a fight.

I am lonely as a memory
G B
Despite the gathering round the fire.
B E G B
Aren't you every bird on every wire?

Here I stay, I lay me down,
F# E B
In a house by a hill.

I'm dug from the rubble, and cut from the kill.

Here I stay, I lay me down,
F# E B
In a house by the Hill.

I'm dug from the rubble, and cut from the kill. (Times 3)
