Intro: Dm C Bb Am
Dm C Am Bb
Verse 1:
Dm C Bb Am
As it gets dark in this house of hallways
Dm C Bb Am
And no corridor leads to the stairs
Dm C Bb Am
With still wet black paint on all the windows
Dm C Bb
We got no clocks ‘cause time don’t care here
Pre-Chorus 1:
Bb C Dm
So tell me your name young noble stranger
Bb C Dm
And tell me just what we’re doing here
Bb C Am
Have you painted walls with all the answers?
Gm C
Have you hidden doors with all our fears?
Chorus:
Bb Am C
What he said is the soul’s rock hard but the hearts trapped underneath
Bb Am C
And the weight of it all gets enough just to crush the best out of you and me
Bb Am Dm Am Bb
But I swear that there’s someone who cares here enough to set us free
Bb C
And if the world don’t turn just enough to bring her honest then I guess we’re better
off forgotten
Dm C Am Bb
Dm C Am Bb
Verse 2:
Dm C Bb Am
The walls stay too thin in this house of hallways
Dm C Bb Am
They let through the echoes and the stares
Dm C Bb Am
And they’ll bleed bright red with scribbled riddles
Dm C Bb
Scratched out of their panels by angered air
Pre-Chorus 2:
Bb C Dm
‘Cause God knows I’ve made all my own choices
Bb C Dm
And if I drown alone its cause I choose
Bb C Am
To spend my time drinking in the stairwells
Gm C
When we’ve both got way too much to prove
Chorus:
Bb Am C
‘Cause the soul’s rock hard but the hearts trapped underneath
Bb Am C
And the weight of it all gets enough just to crush the best out of you and me
Bb Am Dm Am Bb
But I swear that there’s someone who cares here enough to set us free
Bb C
And if the world don’t turn just enough to bring her honest then I guess we’re better
off forgotten
Outro:
Dm C Am Bb
