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
