D#
Sunday morning, skeleton tree
Cm                   G#
Oh, nothing is for free
D#
In the window, a candle
Cm                   G#
Well, maybe you can see

D#            C#
Fallen leaves  thrown across the sky
Cm        A#
A jittery TV
D#
Glowing white like fire
Cm              G#
Nothing is for free

Chorus:
D#
I called out, I called out
Cm                G#
Right across the sea
D#                      D#
But the echo comes back empty
Cm                  G#
And nothing is for free

Sunday morning, skeleton tree
Pressed against the sky
A jittery TV
Glowing white like fire

Chorus:
I call out, I call out
Right across the sea
I call out, I call out
Nothing is for free

And it's alright now
And it's alright now
And it's alright now
