Capo 1st fret
Standard (EADGBE)
Verse 1
She got down on hands and knees, one ear against the ground
holding her breath to hear something, but the dirt made not a sound tonight
Interlude
x2 (As in the verse)
Verse 2
Echoes of songs still lurk on distant foreign shores, where we
danced just to please the gods that only ask for more
Bridge
And so it goes, but still we give ourselves to this
we can't spend our lives waiting to live
Chorus
On cold nights
in a prayer for dawn
but the daylight
isnt what she wants
the concrete
calls my name again
im falling
through the cracks I slip
Verse 3
The postcard says wish you were here
but Id rather I was there, holding
on to the simple things before they disappear
Bridge
Thats what I meant, but that was then, and this is now
I'll make it up to you somehow
A destination, A fading smile
Another station, Another mile
Another day gone, I swore that i will
Be there before dawn, So be there i will
Verse 4
She got down on hands and knees, one ear against the ground,
holding her breath to hear something, anything at all
The dirt whispered, "Child, I'm coming home."
(Same as chorus)
I slip
Through the cracks I slip x2
