Standard (EADGBE)

 I wrote a song about war,

 The kind that lives in your head.

 I found a place I can sit,

 A place where everyday light hits.

 Like the palm of your hand

 when you're reaching for something

 That's balled up in the sky.

 That's the way I like to see myself;

 Reaching for just one star at a time.

I heard what was a song inside the earth.

I put my ear to the ground and I sang with every word.

 See, I got lost in the sound.

 It was the moment I felt sick,

 Just when I needed it most.

 There is not much to explain,

 Except I found myself blinded by every bit of light.

 I felt so safe inside the sight of the sun.

 I really think I'm home now,

 I really think that.

I heard what was a song inside the earth.

 I put my ear to the ground and I sang with every word.

 I felt a wave so strong, I fell right in it.

It hit so hard and it took my spirit.

 Know that I belong to you until I die.

I remember giving this a try...

 I screamed so loud, 'cause that's exactly how I felt.

 It broke me out, and I gave up all my plans.

 I set them down, 'cause I really need to see the sun again.

 Don't worry, 'cause I'll be fine.

I heard what was a song inside the earth.

 I put my ear to the ground and I sang with every word.

 I felt a wave so strong, I fell right in it.

It hit so hard and it took my spirit.

 Know that I belong to you until I die.
