F           C           Dm
Lying in a field of glass
      Am
Underneath the overpass
F                C                  Dm
Mangled in the shards of a mental frame
               Am
Woken from a dream by my own name

Well, I was such a wretched man
Searching everywhere for a homeland
And now we are under the same sun
Feel it through the leaves, let it heal us

Chorus:
F
We are the same
Am           C
We are both sane
Dm
Underneath the sycamore
F
We are the same
Am           C
We are both sane
Dm
Underneath the sycamore

We were both broken in our own ways
Sifting through the rubble for the wrong things
I know you've got a vengeful heart
And I cannot be stopped as soon as I start

But you've seen your darkest rooms
And I have slept in makeshift tombs
And this is where we find our peace
Oh, this is where we are at least

Chorus - x4
