[Verse]
G D
I believe the heart's a theatre
G D
And that the actors on its stage
G D/F#
Are playing dreams but they're imposters
Em7 A11 A7
And that the devil pays their wage
G D
I believe the passion of that drama
G D
That we're certain is for real
G D/F#
Is a diversion for our senses
Em7 A11 A7
While the director comes to steal
[Chorus]
G D
And ever since I was a little kid I didn't want to run away
G D
But it scared me half to death to think that I might have to stay
G Gadd9 G
I've had a hundred scarecrow certainties
D/F# Em11
Built a wooden drawbridge for my brain
G D/F# Em11
But they all burn up
G D/F# Em11 A11 G D G D
When I see Your face against the window pane
[Verse]
G D
I believe that in the passionate
G D
There's a part that is divine
G D/F#
I've seen the cosmos in a woman's smile
E7 A11 A7
Tasted eternity in wine
G D
But I don't just believe in sentiment
G D
Or the miracles of everyday
G D/F#
I believe that there are lepers healed
E7 A11 A7
I believe the dead are raised
[Chorus]
G D
And ever since I was a little kid I didn't want to run away
G D
But it scared me half to death to think that I might have to stay
G Gadd9 G
I've had a hundred scarecrow certainties
D/F# Em11
Built a wooden drawbridge for my brain
G D/F# Em11
But they all burn up
G D/F# Em11 A11 G D G D
When I see Your face against the window pane
[Bridge]
G D/F# Em11 A11 A7
Jesus was a lover, He had a fire in His eyes
G D/F# Em11 A11 A7
That could burn away excuses, cremate your alibis
G D/F# Em11 A11 A7
He had a gaze that would expose to you all the subtle lies
G D/F# Em11 A11 A7
That your soul permits your heart to tell concerning all that it denies
[Chorus]
G D
And ever since I was a little kid I didn't want to run away
G D
But it scared me half to death to think that I might have to stay
G Gadd9 G
I've had a hundred scarecrow certainties
D/F# Em11
Built a wooden drawbridge for my brain
G D/F# Em11
But they all burn up
G D/F# Em11 A11 G D G D
When I see Your face against the window pane
