C         Am
In my own turn
      Em
I'm trying to reach out
   Dm                  Am
I know I'll get there soon
                       C
There's a hole in the earth here
           G                Dm
And we're walking round the edges

Am                 G
You were flaunting all your open wounds
Em                    F
I can't express them better than you

Chorus:
C                Am
You have buried childish qualities
  G                        F
Friend make sense of me, friend make sense of me
C               Am
I have many destructive qualities
  G                        F
Friend make sense of me, friend make sense of me

Am7               F
It's like an old ruin
      C                        G
Your father's a liar while my father's lying down
Am                F
In a hole in the earth there
     C
And I'm scared I'll forget him

I'm still haunted by those open wounds
I won't express them truly to you

Chorus

C               G
I have so much hurt inside me
  Em                       F
Friend make sense of me, friend make sense of me
C               G
I have so much hurt inside me
  Em                       F
Friend make sense of me, friend make sense of me

Am    F
Friend
  C   G
Friend
Am    F
Friend
  C   G
Friend

Am   F           C   G
Hoooo In my own turn

Am F C G
In my own turn
Am F C G
In my own turn
Am F C G
In my own turn
