C
You told us that
Em
We were too young
      F
Now that night's closing in
            Dm
And in the half light, we run
 C
Lock us up safe
Em
And hide the key
         F
But the night tears us loose
            Dm
And in the half light, we're free

Strange how the half light
Can make a place new
You can’t recognize me
And I can’t recognize you
We run through these streets
That we know so well
And the houses hide so much
But in the half light

                G
None of us can tell
                           C
They hide the ocean in a shell
G                C G
The ocean in a shell

F
Our heads are just houses
Dm
Without enough windows
           F
You say you hear human voices
           G           C
But they're only echoes

G               C
They're only echoes
G               C
They're only echoes
G       C
Only echoes

        C                 G
We are not asleep, we are in the streets
        C                 G
We are not asleep, we are in the streets
        C                 G              C
We are not asleep, we are in the streets
