[Verse 1]
A
E
are splayed out on your floor
F#m Dmaj7
Like hundreds of locked doors
Dmaj7 C#m A
There's a story that you're trying to find
Dmaj7 C#m A
But the pieces don't fit together in your mind
 
[Verse 2]
A
Your mother was a drunkard
E
Your father was not a saint
F#m Dmaj7
Your sister lacked restraint
Dmaj7 C#m A
And in photos you were always staring through the lens
Dmaj7 C#m A
To some distant place you would rather have been
 
[Chorus]
Dmaj7 C#m F#m
Days are lonely and long
Dmaj7 C#m Bm F#m
Walking in place where you don't belong
Dmaj7 C#m F#m
Here on paved Native lands
Dmaj7 C#m Bm F#m
Time disappears from the palms of your hands
 
[Instrumental Break]
A E F#m Dmaj7
Dmaj7 C#m A
Dmaj7 C#m A
 
[Verse 3]
A
Fragments from the decade
E
are dancing in the fire
F#m Dmaj7
Like marionettes on wires
Dmaj7 C#m A
And if you stare too long they almost seem alive
Dmaj7 C#m A
Too beautiful and helpless to survive
 
[Chorus]
Dmaj7 C#m F#m
Days are lonely and long
Dmaj7 C#m Bm F#m
Walking in place where you don't belong
Dmaj7 C#m F#m
Here on paved Native lands
Dmaj7 C#m Bm F#m
Time disappears from the palms of your hands
Dmaj7 C#m Bm F#m
Time disappears from the palms of your hands
