Intro: C Bb F Fm C Bb F Fm
C Bb
I still see my actions ripple, Grinding hope stones into sand,
F Fm
Losing too much kills the lion, Makes mice of many men
C Bb
I watched you suffer too, Stuck steadfast to beliefs,
F Fm
And I'm apart from it, But woe is me
C Bb F
And after all underneath, Ain't we all just guts and teeth?,
Fm C Bb F Fm
Ain't we all just reflections?, Moving in separate directions
C Bb C
In our heads, out of our minds and out of time...
Bb
... has left a crow's foot brand, Shook me up and beat my hand,
F Fm
Taught me some humility, Left little opportunity
C Bb
And in the seconds between breath, All my pride means so much less,
F Fm
And it is time that I confess, I'm a part of what went wrong
C Bb F
after all underneath, Ain't we all just guts and teeth?,
Fm C Bb F Fm
Ain't we all just reflections?, Moving in separate directions
C Bb C
In our heads, out of our minds and out of time

(during the autoharp/accordion? solo)
C Bb
Picking up where we last left it, Trying hard to hide your eyes,
F Fm
Shards of shambled nouveau riche, In the pieces of your life
C Bb
Backwards ain't no way of living, In a world synced up with sinning,
F Fm C
Hard hearts need forgiving, Well, it's the only chance we've got
C Bb F
underneath, Ain't we all just guts and teeth?,
Fm C Bb F Fm
Ain't we all just reflections?, Moving in separate directions

In our heads, out of our minds and out of time
