G D
i opened up the music bo
x Em
i wish you would have changed the locks

to keep me from replaying
D
all the feelings i’ve been saving
G D
i did not keep them locked up inside
Em
i did not take my steps in stride
D
thought you were bluffing , trampled on you

went from friends to nothing

C G D
radio turns to gold
C G D
and paves the way to find my home
C G D
when i’m alone
C G D
when i’m alone

G Em F#m G

G D
overeager and underway
Em
i risked it all , i had to say
D
what opened me up for the beating
G
but the heart is for bleeding
D
with scraps of songs i paste along
Em
the seams of my clumsy tongue
D
in hopes of creating the golden notes

that might bring you back to me

C G D
radio turns to gold
C G D
and paves the way to find my home
C G D
when i’m alone
C G D
when i’m alone

G Em F#m C

G D Em D

G
like phantoms on the highway
D Em
after holiday , gritting their teeth
D
racing to find a place for their soul
G
or at least a place . . . that’s less familiar
D
we offer up our heart before
Em
the heart’s invited or asked for
D
oh no , here i go my friend , i’m repeating
G
but the heart is for bleeding . . .
D
and i’ve said all i can say
Em
i Am retreating , on my way
D
music box , play my song i’ll sing along
C
to that bitterly sweet tone

when i’m alone . . .
