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/B 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/B 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 E4    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/B  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/B 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 E4    E 
So breathing feels like putting out a fire
