B
My feet plow on
From light to dawn
              G#m
My empty belly and my body aches
Ain’t hard to take
            F#    B
Next to the weight

B
I carry in my chest
A pound of flesh
                     G#m
Could never tip the scale that I’ve made
I should have stayed
           F#    E
But I was never wise

Chorus:
E                         F#                 G#m
I hear your voices in the wind that cuts the night
E                         F#
And I pray to whatever is listening things’ll be
     B
all right

B                    G#m
Oh, my boy, you're alive
G#m                F#
Your heart's still beating
    B                         G#m
So don’t you mind, don’t you mind
              F#      E
We all drift sometimes

E                     F#                       G#m
I can still hear your feet as you ran from the house
E                     F#           G#m
Knowing you won’t be back doesn’t mean that
             D#
I will stop waiting
E                         F#
You told me then, hold me down,
                   G#m   D#
hold me up to the fire
E                          F#
But don’t you dare hold me back

E                 F#                          G#m
I see your face's in the clouds that scar the night
E                    F#
And I pray to whoever is listening things’ll be
     B
all right

G#m                          F#
Then today I wake up feeling easy
D#                             E
Find I’m on the more familiar roads
G#m                         F#
I got a darkness wrapped inside me
B                                   E
But now it ain’t so hard to let it go
G#m                              F#
So keep a candle burning in the window
B
I’m almost home
