D Em Bm7 A7 D
Helpless she lies across the stairs
D Em Bm7 A7 D
Haunting your days consuming your prayers
D Em Bm7 A7 D
There will be healing but don't force this girl to stand
D Em Bm7 A7 D
As she's counting the ceilings with pale voice and trembling hands
Em A7 D G
You told me life was long but now that it's gone
D Em F#m G
You find yourself on top as the leader of a flock
A7 D
Called to be around for those below
D7 G Gm D Em A7 D
D Em Bm7 A7 D
Whispered notes from the piano in the corner of the room
D Em Bm7 A7 D
Hold your throat is that healing that you're hearing in her tune
D Em Bm7 A7 D
Wanting change but loving her just as she lies
D Em Bm7 A7 D
Is the burden of the man who's built his life on love
Em A7 D G
You told me life was long but now that it's gone
D Em F#m G
You find yourself on top as the leader of a flock
A7 D
Called to be around for those below
D7 G Gm D Em A7 D
Em7 A7
I'll be locked up and stored
Em7 A7
In a lavender ward
Em7 A7
Cause my mind is just like hers
Em7 A7
just as broken just as crippled just as burned
D Em F#m G
And then I find myself on top as the leader of a flock
A7 D
Called to be around for those below
D7 G Gm D Em A7 D
Enjoy!
