Em
C
G
Well, as a child I mostly spoke inside my headEm
C
G
I had conversations with the clouds, the dogs, the deadEm
C
G
And they thought my broken, that my tongue was coated lead
D
C
Em
But I just couldn't make my words make sense to them
D
C
G
If you only listen with your ears... I can't get in
Em
C
G
And I spent my evenings pullin' stars out of the skyEm
C
G
And I'd arrange them on the lawn where I would lieEm
C
G
And in the wind I'd taste the dreams of distant lives
D
C
Em
And I would dress myself up in them through the night
D
C
G
While my folks would sleep in separate beds... and wonder why

G
And through them days I was a ghost atop my chairEm
C
G
My dad considered me a cross he had to bearEm
C
G
And in my head I'd sing apologies and stare
D
C
Em
As my mom would hang the clothes across the line
D
C
G
And she would try to keep the empty... from her eyes
Em
C
G
So, then one afternoon I dressed myself aloneEm
C
G
I packed my pillowcase with everything I ownedEm
C
G
And in my head I said "goodbye," then I was gone
D
C
Em
And I set out on the heels of the unknown
D
C
Em
So my folks could have a new life of their own
D
C
So that maybe I could find someone
D
C
G
Who could hear the only words that I'd known
