           F
Press your nose to the glass
                                Gm
Whisper freedom at last to your window
C                                                   F
Buckle your seat wrapped up warm in a sheet on your way
            F
Press your ear to the fabric
                           Gm
Vibrations and static from nowhere
    C                                                       F
The engines will spin till your dreams have caved into your eyes


F                                        Gm
I've settled into a feeling I hope never passes
C                                        F
I am afraid but I couldn't admit that to you
    F                                              Gm
The clocks are all sugar the minutes the move like molasses
        C                                                     F
Putting holes in my teeth from the hope I've been chewing too long


C                   Bb                   F
Spitting arrows at innocent sparrows for fun


F                                        Gm
In the sand I will whisper a thing about living
  C                                                   F
A wise little word just to bounce up and down in your brain
F                                                Gm
Then you'll realize it's love that I meant to be giving
       C                                          F
You'll smile a bit but then probably conclude I'm insane


Dm                 Bb
Eager eyes setting back in my head
F                           C
What have you done for your time?
Dm                    Bb
I can't read what the bible says
        F                        C
But I'm learning to love what is mine


    Dm                     Bb           
I'm trying to care and I'm trying to carry
    F                           C
the weight of the things I have done
          Gm
Lay me my love,
          Bb
Lay me my love,

Down, down

Now the winter is passing and I am it's only companion
         C                                        F
Yes I am shooting the liquor like bullets into my regrets

I am terrified but I haven't wavered yet
C                          Bb                  F
Through the gate you will wonder, so lost, so alone

I will say to you this is the place I call home

the weight of the things I have done
Dm                     Bb
Hoping for answers and begging to feel
       F                     C
As the monster that I have become

In all your travels and all you've heard said
