[VERSE]
Am C
Souls suffer the landscape
Am C
In shrouds of dew, as ghosts.
Am C
Their eternity is for searching
Am C
But a certain dissension grows.
Am C
I've seen them wander,
Am C
Voices raised in prayer
Am C
Consorting with whisper,
Am C
They curse the one not there.
[BRIDGE] (electric plays intro riff)
G Am
If you didn't want this and I didn't need it,
G Am
Then how has this interest become an addiction?
G Am C
If you didn't want it, then why can't you do without?
[VERSE] play same chords a first verse
I know I'm not your first one,
But I pray I'll be your last.
I've never seen you cry before,
But I know when I make you laugh.
I know and you know, you've heard this all before...
These arms are for holding on.
This heart won't stray from home.
[BRIDGE] (electric plays intro riff)
If you didn't want this and I didn't need it,
Then how has this interest become an addiction?
If you didn't want it, then why can't you do without?

I know, I know, I know
Am C
God tell me, where's my Halo?
