        A#
There's wood-chip on the walls
        F/A
There's wood on the stove
    Gm
You would if you could
        D#
But you can not, I know
    A#         F/A    Gm D#
But I'm still yours alone

We lie on our backs
We lie on your floor
But we lied so much
We don't talk anymore
And I'm still yours alone

    Cm
You said you were tired
I said I feel the same
I put on my shoes
And I got on the train

Chorus:
       Gm       Dm
To see sunlight fade
                     Cm
And the shadows grow long
        Gm                Dm
To see rivers go winding blindly
             Cm
Back to the stone
        A#
And the rickety tracks
        Dm
They're taking me back
         D#  Cm7/D    Cm7
To where I used to belong

There's a weight on our shoulders
Weight to your tone
You wait on tables
I'll wait by the phone
And I'm still yours alone

You blew out the candles
When we fell apart
I'm not childish, just scared of the dark

Chorus - x2
