Verse 1:
They ve been carving
your name out in stone
Building stairways
to lead you home
Though there s room up
above I can tell you my love
That I won t let you go
Inerlude: Bbm-F#-C#-F- x3, Eb/G--F#--
Verse 2:
There s a place in my heart
where my courage is kept
And I m keeping it there
till my mind is at rest
It s the one bit of power
that I still have left in me?
Chorus 1:
Now this room is
like a cage
I ve been stuck
in here for days
Searching deep
inside my mind
Just to find a
better place
And I m waiting for
you To pick up the
pieces and move along
Verse 3:
There s a place on a street
in a town that I know
Where the earth doesn t move
and the grass doesn t grow
There s a chill in the air
that goes straight to your bones
I ve got my hands in the ground
and I m digging you up
(Repeat Chorus 1)
Guitar Solo:
Bbm-F#-C#-F- x3, Eb/G--F#--
Bridge: Silence
When all colour starts to fade
And the cage begins to break
I give my body to the skies
Now I m standing at the gates
And I m waiting for you
To pick up the pieces and move along
Chorus 2:
Now this room is
like a cage
I ve been stuck
in here for days
Searching deep
inside my mind
Just to find a
better place
And I m waiting for
you To pick up the
(hold)
pieces and move along
