Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

Dead leaves and the dirty ground

 when I know you're not around

shiny tops and soda pops

 when I hear your lips make a sound

 when I hear your lips make a sound

Thirty notes in the mailbox

 will tell you that I'm coming home

and I think I'm gonna stick around

 for a while so you're not alone

 for a while so your not alone

Break

If you can hear a piano fall

 you can hear me coming down the hall

If I can just hear your pretty voice

 I don't think I need to see at all

 don't think I need to see at all

Soft hair and a velvet tongue

 I wanna give you what you give to me

and every breath that is in your lungs

 is a tiny little gift to me

 is a tiny little gift to me

(Repeat Break)

Chorus

I didn't feel so bad 'til the sun went down

then I come home

 no one to wrap my arms around

 wrap my arms around

Well any man with a microphone

 can tell you what he loves the most

And you know why you love at all

 if you're thinking of the holy ghost

 if you're thinking of the holy ghost
