helpless , she lies across the stairs
D Em Bm7 A7 D
haunting your days , consuming your prayers
D Em Bm7 A7 D
there will be healing , but don’t force this girl to stand
D Em Bm7 A7 D
as she’s counting the ceilings , with pale voice and trembling hands
Em A7 D G
you told me life was long , but now that it’s gone ,
D Em F#m G
you find yourself on top , as the leader of a flock
A7 D D7 G Gm D Em A7 D
called to be around for those below
D Em Bm7 A7 D
whispered notes from the piano in the corner of the room
D Em Bm7 A7 D
hold your throat , is that healing that you’re hearing in her tune?
D Em Bm7 A7 D
wanting change , but loving her just as she lies
D Em Bm7 A7 D
is the burden of the man who’s built his life on love
Em A7 D G
you told me life was long , but now that it’s gone ,
D Em F#m G

i’ll be locked up and stored
Em7 A7
in a lavender ward
Em7 A7
’cause my mind is just like hers ,
Em7 A7
just as broken , just as crippled , just as burned
D Em F#m G
and then i find myself on top , as the leader of a flock
