Standard (EADGBE)

Verse 1

 They've been carving

 your name out in stone

 Building stairways

 to lead you home

 Though there's room up

 above I can tell you my love

 That I won't let you go

Inerlude: Bbm-F#-C#-F- x3, Eb/G--F#--

Verse 2

 There's a place in my heart

 where my courage is kept

 And I'm keeping it there

 till my mind is at rest

 It's the one bit of power

 that I still have left in me?

Chorus 1

 Now this room is

 like a cage

 I've been stuck

 in here for days

 Searching deep

 inside my mind

 Just to find a

 better place

 And I'm waiting for

you To pick up the

pieces and move along

Verse 3

 There's a place on a street

 in a town that I know

 Where the earth doesn't move

 and the grass doesn't grow

 There's a chill in the air

 that goes straight to your bones

 I've got my hands in the ground

 and I'm digging you up

(Repeat Chorus 1)

Bridge

Silence

 When all colour starts to fade

 And the cage begins to break

 I give my body to the skies

 Now I'm standing at the gates

 And I'm waiting for you

 To pick up the pieces and move along

Chorus 2

 Now this room is

 like a cage

 I've been stuck

 in here for days

 Searching deep

 inside my mind

 Just to find a

 better place

 And I'm waiting for

you To pick up the

pieces and move along
