Intro: Dbm E A E A E B

Verse 1:
Dbm              E
You needn't be a chamber
   A             E          B         Dbm   B         A
To house all the echoes and voices of those that have left you
        E          B         Dbm       B   A                 B
Are you talking to me or somebody that you once knew passing through?
      Dbm                    E
Do we talk anymore or do our voices
      A          E          B                Dbm  B      A
Dance around themselves in circles, till we can't hear a damn thing?
       E        B             Dbm    B   A        E       B
We're still as stone but our shadows are dancing upon the wall

Chorus:
Dbm                 E             A                  E
Oh, if you ever get tired of your conversations with ghosts
        A                       E
And all those that you let too close
               B
I'll be waiting
            Dbm              E
And I'll go swimming in the caves
        A               E
In the sparkle in your eyes
                 A                             E
They're just the tears you don't let yourself cry
     B
Trying, so hard to say goodbye

Interlude: Dbm E A E A E B

Verse 2:
Dbm                 E
Precious little mercies
      A                   E              B               Dbm   B     A
As I stumble between the pillars of this worn-out hacienda in the moonlight
     E                B        Dbm       B    A
Sometimes it takes a storm to appreciate the still night
              E        B
Don't let the darkness in
Dbm              E
Your voice just raging
     A           E                   B              Dbm     B             A
But how can I protect you from what happened to you then, what's already been?
         E            B         Dbm    B           A
I can't give you the words that really should have come from him
           E              B
Baby, I'm showing you my hand

Chorus:
Dbm                 E             A                  E
Oh, if you ever get tired of your conversations with ghosts
        A                       E
And all those that you let too close
               B
I'll be waiting
            Dbm              E
And I'll go swimming in the caves
        A               E
In the sparkle in your eyes
                 A                             E
They're just the tears you don't let yourself cry
     B
Trying, so hard to say goodbye
