Verse 1

They've been carving

your name out in stone

Building stairways

to lead you home

Though there's room up

above I can tell you my love

That I won't let you go

Inerlude: Bbm-F#-C#-F- x3, Eb/G--F#--

Verse 2

There's a place in my heart

where my courage is kept

And I'm keeping it there

till my mind is at rest

It's the one bit of power

that I still have left in me?

Chorus 1

Now this room is

like a cage

I've been stuck

in here for days

Searching deep

inside my mind

Just to find a

better place

And I'm waiting for

you To pick up the

pieces and move along

Verse 3

There's a place on a street

in a town that I know

Where the earth doesn't move

and the grass doesn't grow

There's a chill in the air

that goes straight to your bones

I've got my hands in the ground

and I'm digging you up

(Repeat Chorus 1)

Guitar solo

Bbm-F#-C#-F- x3, Eb/G--F#--

Bridge

Silence

When all colour starts to fade

And the cage begins to break

I give my body to the skies

Now I'm standing at the gates

And I'm waiting for you

To pick up the pieces and move along

Chorus 2

Now this room is

like a cage

I've been stuck

in here for days

Searching deep

inside my mind

Just to find a

better place

And I'm waiting for

you To pick up the

pieces and move along
