D

She got down on hands and knees,

     Asus           G

One ear against the ground,

        D

Holding her breath to hear something,

          Asus          G

But the dirt made not a sound tonight



D                          Asus                  G

Echoes of songs still lurk on distant foreign shores,

         D                                  Asus             G

Where we danced just to please the gods that only ask for more,



      Bm

So it goes

             A                   G

But still we give ourselves to this

G

We can't spend our lives waiting to live



D

On cold nights

Asus

In a prayer for dawn

Bm

But daylight

G

Isn't what she wants



D

The concrete

Asus

Calls my name again

Bm

I'm falling

G

Through the cracks I slip



D

The postcard says wish you were here

         Asus         G

But I'd rather I was there,

       D                       Asus              G

Holding on to the simple things before they disappear,

                 Bm

That's what I meant

              A                G

But that was then, and this is now

G

I'll make it up to you somehow



D

On cold nights

Asus

In a prayer for dawn

Bm

But daylight

G

Isn't what she wants



D

The concrete

Asus

Calls my name again

Bm

I'm falling

G

Through the cracks I slip



Bm             A

A destination, a fading smile.

D               G

Another station, another mile.

Bm               A

Another day gone, I swore that I will.

D

Be there before dawn.

G

So be there, I will.



D

She got down on hands and knees,

    Asus         G

One ear against the ground,

       D

Holding her breath to hear something,

Asus         G

Anything at all

G

The dirt whispered, "Child, I'm coming home"



D

On cold nights

Asus

In a prayer for dawn

Bm

But daylight

G

Isn't what she wants



D

The concrete

Asus

Calls my name again

Bm

I'm falling

G

Through the cracks I slip
