CAPO 3
D C
Bitten by the wind on a hard hard day
G D
And God I really want you to stay
D C
Bitten by tears and a burning fear
G C
That had smeared us both on the table
C Em G
And there are too many people in this street
C Em G
There are too many eyes to meet
D C
So I hold your wrist and I feel you listless
G D
Shaking on the edge of your seat
Em C G D (3x)
Oh hide me safe away I want to see myself
Painted an invisible gray.
Feed me to the years and I will make myself
Harmless as a drawn-on tear
Please don?t hold me in your soul like a heavy stone,
Em C D G
I am carrying my cold heart home.
D C
Trapped by a breath and it hit my head
G D
like a thousend bricks from the sky
D C
And I saw you choke as the last bridge broke
G D
And our fingers waved goodbye
C Em G
There are too many clowns stumbling by
C Em G
There are too many hand to untie
D C
So we leave it there by the tin can chairs
G D
And the pavement swallows our lives
Em , C , G , D
Oh hide me safe away I want to see myself
Painted an invisible gray.
Feed me to the years and I will make myself
Harmless as a drawn-on tear
Please don?t hold me in your soul like a heavy stone,
Em C D G
I am carrying my cold heart home
I am carrying my cold heart home
C G D
Your face has followed me home
With unwanted grace I leave you lonely
We were never made a perfect piece to fit
We will remain unfinished puzzles as we seat
Em , C , G , D
Oh hide me safe away I want to see myself
Painted an invisible gray.
Feed me to the years and I will make myself
Harmless as a drawn-on tear
Please dont hold me in your soul like a heavy stone,
Em C D G
I am carrying my cold heart home
I am carrying my cold heart home
I am carrying my cold heart home
I am carrying my cold heart home
I am carrying my cold heart home
