B


[Chorus]
B              G
She who walks alone in life
A                Bm
She of sound mind
     B              G
I am only as old as I've been told
    F#
Now I'm playing for time

Bm              G
Darling take me to the lakeside
A                Bm
Wash my body well
     B            G
I am holy now the water's hit me
Em
Broken from your spell


                  Bm    A   Bm
Cause I was on my hands and knees
               Bm    A  Em
Bending at the heart of me


B                 G
We don't know the weight of all
    A               Bm
The words we say now
     B                    G
In a few more years, with open ears
       F#
Would you still say them aloud?


Bm             G
They who walk alone in life
A                 Bm
They are of sound mind
       B                G
We can only get hurt by things we've heard
    Em
And lovers are unkind

                     Bm  A  Bm
But did you hear the sun go down?
            Bm    A  Em
Silent as a child I found
              Bm       A     Em
Hiding in the midnight of my soul
           G      A       Bm
I am ready now to let her go


B              G
She who walks alone in life
A       Bm
She by herself
        B             G
We are only as old as we've been told
F#
And I'm not ready for the shelf

Bm              G
Darling take me to the lakeside
A               Bm
Lay my body down
     B              G
I am holy now while skin is touching
Em
Let the sun go out


           Bm    A   Bm
I am on my hands and knees
               Bm    A  Em
Bending at the heart of me
              Bm       A    Em
Hiding in the midnight of my soul
                       G          A      Bm
Please don't break the shell that I call home
