[Verse]

  G                             D
I believe the heart's a theatre
             G                  D
And that the actors on its stage
            G                           D/F#
Are playing dreams but they're imposters
                                 Em7   A11 A7
And that the devil pays their wage
              G                     D
I believe the passion of that drama
            G                   D
That we're certain is for real
     G                         D/F#
Is a diversion for our senses
                                  Em7   A11 A7
While the director comes to steal


[Chorus]
         G                                 D
And ever since I was a little kid I didn't want to run away
       G                                     D
But it scared me half to death to think that I might have to stay
           G                             Gadd9 G
I've had a hundred scarecrow certainties
                         D/F#    Em11
Built a wooden drawbridge for my brain
         G   D/F# Em11
But they all burn up
       G        D/F#  Em11       A11    G    D  G  D
When I see Your face against the window pane


[Verse]
  G                             D
I believe that in the passionate
          G                  D
There's a part that is divine
              G                        D/F#
I've seen the cosmos in a woman's smile
                     E7   A11 A7
Tasted eternity in wine
       G                             D
But I don't just believe in sentiment
          G                 D
Or the miracles of everyday
      G                               D/F#
I believe that there are lepers healed
                       E7      A11 A7
I believe the dead are raised


[Chorus]
         G                                 D
And ever since I was a little kid I didn't want to run away
       G                                     D
But it scared me half to death to think that I might have to stay
           G                             Gadd9 G
I've had a hundred scarecrow certainties
                         D/F#    Em11
Built a wooden drawbridge for my brain
         G   D/F# Em11
But they all burn up
       G        D/F#  Em11       A11    G    D  G  D
When I see Your face against the window pane


[Bridge]
G                           D/F#           Em11  A11 A7
Jesus was a lover, He had a fire in His eyes
            G                  D/F#           Em11  A11 A7
That could burn away excuses, cremate your alibis
         G                           D/F#              Em11  A11 A7
He had a gaze that would expose to you all the subtle lies
          G                             D/F#                       Em11  A11 A7
That your soul permits your heart to tell concerning all that it denies


[Chorus]
         G                                 D
And ever since I was a little kid I didn't want to run away
       G                                     D
But it scared me half to death to think that I might have to stay
           G                             Gadd9 G
I've had a hundred scarecrow certainties
                         D/F#    Em11
Built a wooden drawbridge for my brain
         G   D/F# Em11
But they all burn up
       G        D/F#  Em11       A11    G    D  G  D
When I see Your face against the window pane
