[Intro]
Em G D/F# Em
?
[Verse 1]
Em G D/F# Em
I wake up just the same everyday
G D/F# Em
And the keys to this cabin lay in the same place
G D/F# Em
Fortune is calling, it's howling my name
G D/F# Em
But I keep the door shut so tomorrows the same
G F# Em
And there were people around until the sky turned to grey
G D/F# Em
They were worried the storm would blow this cabin away
G D/F# Em
So they all packed their bags and left that same day
G D/F# Em
Never since then was the sky blue again
[Chorus]
Em G D/F# G
I'm terrified this is all there is
Em G D/F# G
I'm scared to death that my best days are gone
Em G D/F# G
I don't care for the people what is it they think
Em G D/F# C
What’s the point in their prayers if I’m alone?
[Interlude]
Em G D/F# Em
[Verse 2]
Em G D/F# Em
So I broke all the candles and I burnt all the lights
G D/F# Em
And I boarded the windows to keep the world out of sight
G D/F# Em
But I still see a monster in the dead of the night
G D/F# Em
He moves in my skin and he peers through my eyes
G D/F# Em
Says one day those people will come back the same way
G D/F# Em
And they’ll all say your brilliant and it’ll all be okay
G D/F# Em
They’ll tattoo the words of their songs to your skin
G D/F# Em
They’ll call you a genius they’ll hail you a king
[Chorus]
Em G D/F# G
I'm terrified of my loneliness
Em G D/F# G
I'm scared to death of the words in these songs
Em G D/F# G
I don't care for the people what is it they think
Em G D/F# C
What’s the point in their prayers if I’m alone?
Em G D/F# G
Just bring me up just one last weekend
Em G D/F# G
Want to breath a little life just one more time
Em G D/F# G
I hear I’m barely speaking
Em G D/F# Em
Just humming and singing dead songs in the night
[Interlude]
Em G D/F# Em
[Bridge]
Em G D/F# Em
Down on the corner of old countess road
Em G D/F# Em
I can still hear the song of my lover old
Em G D/F# Em
Where the good men they go when the good in them dies
Em G D/F# Em
I am haunted by the ghost of her wild green eyes
