Verse 1
[D]I don't know when I noticed life was life [D]at my expense
[C]The words of my heart lined up like prisoners [C]on a fence
[Bm]My dreams came in like needy children [Bm]tugging at my sleeve

[Cadd9]But there was a time I asked my father [Cadd9]for a dollar

Verse 2
[D]Maybe there's no haven in this world [D]for tender age
[C]My heart beat like the wings of wild [C]birds in a cage
[Bm]My greatest hope, my greatest cause [Bm]to grieve
[G]And my heart flew from its cage, and [G]it bled upon my sleeve
[Cadd9]The cries of passion were like wounds [Cadd9]that needed healing
[G]I couldn't hear them for the [G]thunder
[D]I was half the naked distance between [D/C#]hell and heaven's ceiling
[Bm7add11]And it almost pulled me [Bm7add11]under
