Bm D G Em
I built a home there in the trees
Bm D
With splintered hands
A Em
And bruised and bloodied knees
Bm D
One day your voice came riding on the breeze:
G Em
"Ooh, ooh.
Bm D A
You don't have to be alone, you don't have to be alone,
Em
you don't have to be alone" (x2)
Bm D G Em
Your voice touched my skin and filled my bones
Bm D
It's running through the trees
G Em
Like the wind that blows
Bm D
You set my words alive like skipping stones:
G Em
"Ooh, ooh."
Bm D A
I thought I had to be alone, I thought I had to be alone
Em
I thought I had to be alone. (x2)
Bm D G Em
Empty out my pockets full of light
Bm D
Filling riverbeds
G Em
With tears turned dry
Bm D
The earth claps its hands in perfect time:
G Em
"Ooh, ooh."
Bm D A
No more singing all alone, no more singing all alone
Em
No more singing all alone. (x2)
Bm D G Em
The clock grows old in the grandfather sky
Bm D G Em
The lock grows cold just waiting for me to die
Bm D G Em
And all of the wrinkles that my tears have left behind:
Bm D A Em
They're just lines, they're just lines, they're just lines
Bm D A G
They're just lines, they're just lines, they're just lines
Bm D A Em
They're just lines, they're just lines, they're just lines
Bm D A G
They're just lines, they're just lines, they're just lines!
