Am                   E
the only time i ever heard the voice of god 
           F     C   E
was in the silence of the night in the arms of the one i love
Dm    G C C/H Am
staring at the ceiling up above 
     G      E      Am
like it contained the secrets of the stars


Am                   E
any time i ever woke up in a dream
           F     C   E
i saw my shadow there staring back at me
Dm    G C C/H Am
moving through the walls and wondering
     G      E      Am
as all the world rose up inside of me

F             E
and i long to hear the melody
     Am G F Dm
that one time played inside my mind
F          E
and to love another helplessly
   Am G F E F E Esus4 E
so breathing feels like putting out a fire


Am                   E
any time my life flashes in front of me
           F     C   E
i see a child there as if on a screen
Dm    G C C/H Am
standing in the shadows flickering
     G      E      Am
for a moment i know what it means


Am                   E
all this time i lived inside a memory
           F     C   E
daylight creeping in through a crack in the weathered seams
Dm    G C C/H Am
severing the ties and trembling
     G      E      Am
losing all the voices in the wind

F             E
and i long to hear the melody
     Am G F Dm
that one time played inside my mind
F          E
and to love another helplessly
   Am G F E F E Esus4 E
so breathing feels like putting out a fire
