C C* C2 C2*   -2x-


C
             Em           D
sleephouse, not a sound
              Fmaj7       C
the world outside
            Em               D
large sky, losing ground
            Fmaj7
no words inside

C C* C2 C2*   -2x-

C
           Em            D
lost hope beings shut
          Fmaj7          C
the tired eyes
              Em               D
small name scratching down
           Fmaj7
the quiet time

C C*   -2x-

F              C
one mistake, two mistakes
 F#             F                 C  C*     C2 C2*
don't mistake, your mistake, for my mistake

C C* C2 C2*

C
            Em            D
house pet chasing birds,
           Fmaj7          C
across the earth
            Em            D 
big ground fading now,
                Fmaj7
scope spanning girl


C C* C2 C2*  -a few times, fading to the end w/ solo-
