Verse

G                    C/G          G
Been so many days of longing now
              Em           D6/F#
Why should it ever be this far
            Am
Where I get frightened
        G            D6/F#                             G    C/G   D6/F#
I could never gather birds enough to carry 'round your heart

          G              C/G               G
But I see traces of your thoughts out here
        Em              D6/F#
I see a sight; I hear a sound
       Am             G              D6/F#                           
I only comfort in the brittleness of days when 
                       G      C/G   D6/F#
I can hold what I just found

Chorus
            C       G           D6/F#    Em
It's in the untired eyes of the laughing child
        C        G          D6/F#
And the dirtiest sweater he owns
       C          G
Early, sun-warmed pine
              D6/F#     Em
And all those life-like sins
          C            G           D6/F#  
That will pull out the memories to show
I'm not leavin' alone
G       C/G           G    C/G
I'm not leavin' alone
