D                 C Am Em
What you want to say
Wait 'til you get home
I'm sick of communicating
Over the telephone

Tell me how you feel
For I am lonely too
Need you to know
I'm just as cold and numb as you

                  C Am Em
But I could fly away
   D        G    C Am Em
Or I could be no one
     D         G
And you could be the
 C        Am  Em  D        G    C Am Em
Sunshine falling over the mountain

You could come to stay
You could come right home
I don't see why I have to
Live this life all alone

I know there is a way
To make up for mistakes
I know what's happening is for a reason
I know...

But I could fly away
Or I could be no one
Sunshine falling
Over the mountain
