Verse:
Guitar 1 plays G#5 A5 E5 B5
G#5 A5 E5 B5
Well I guess you left me with some feathers in my hand
Did it make it any easier to leave me where I stand?
*(Guitar 2 plays first three measures of intro)
I guess there might not be too many who would stand beside you now
Where'd you come from? Where am I going?
*(Guitar 2 plays fill 1)
Why'd you leave me 'till I'm only good for...
Fill 1

Chorus: (Guitars 1 & 2 play chords indicated)
E
Waiting for you
G#m B
All my sins...
F#m A
I said that I would pay for them if I could
come back to you
All my innocence is wasted on the dead and dreaming
*(w/ fill 2)
Every night these silohuettes appear above my head
Little angels of the silences that climb into my bed and whisper
* (w/ first 3 measures of intro, then fill 1)
Every time I fall asleep Every time I dream
"Did you come? Would you lie?
Why'd you leave us 'till we're only good for...

I dream of Michelangelo when I'm lying in my bed
