              C                             Am 
Just above my head, I could hear your heart beating 

    C                              Am 
But oh, would not stand to let you in. 
         C                          Am 
So often that what you long for and that what's your terror 

F                       G 
Will stand side by side in the end you'll decide  

         C                        Am 
When the picture's too tearful to look on, 

             C                              Am 
Will it show the walls we could never break down, 

       C                      Am 
Or the spaces left empty from too many places 

F                                G 
For the ones who just can't hang around 

                Am 
Can you hum him home? 

            C 
Or hum home him? 

      F                                   C 
Is it something that seeps slowly from your skin? 

          Am                                 C 
'Cause oh, how it drips drolly from your sense of what's a sin, 

          F 
I know that it's never been easy 

                 C 
But so many things, well they've just never been! Oh, no no no! 

F    G    F    G    F    G    Am 

                   C                            Am 
But it's sure your heart, it was always a pure one, 

          C                      Am 
You could feel it in each second guess, 

        C                              Am 
But the things you prescribed for your self preservation  

     F                  G 
Were mildly destructive at best, we were patient 

    C                              Am 
And wondered sometimes, "where you headed?" 

    C                  Am 
But oh no, no we never knew 

   C                            Am 
Despite all the things that you dreaded 

                  F                                G 
To find something fresh, something real, something true 

Am    C    F    C x2 

F    G    F    G    F    G    Am
