Tom: Em
Am D7
Callous fingers from your strings
G Bm Em D
Trying to make the guitar sing
C D G G#dim
And once again release the joy it brings
Am D7
But even with the old notes played
G Bm Em D
The strings are rusted and slightly frayed
C D G G#dim
So I can’t get it sounding quite the same
[Chorus]
Em C G D D#dim
When you get caught in what they want
Em C D D#dim
It’s hard to remember who you are
Em C G D D#dim
A wild heart kept in the dark
Am D7 G
A tired hand that’s fumbling for the door
[Instrumental]
Am D7 G Bm Em D C D G G#dim
[Verse 2]
Am D7
Kept the branches dry from rain
G Bm Em D
But you brought matches and propane
C D G G#dim
And now the air in here could light a flame
Am D7
Why so set on being right
G Bm Em D
All your words braced for the fight
C D G G#dim
But there are so many ways to see the light
[Chorus]
Em C G D D#dim
When you get caught in what they want
Em C D D#dim
It’s hard to remember who you are
Em C G D D#dim
A wild heart kept in the dark
Am D7 G
A tired hand that’s fumbling for the door
[Instrumental]
Am Caug C D F F#dim G G#dim
Am Caug C D F Fm Bm B7
[Chorus]
Em C G D D#dim
When you get caught in what they want
Em C D D#dim
It’s hard to remember who you are
Em C G D D#dim
A wild heart kept too long in the dark
Am D7 G
A tired hand that’s fumbling for the door
[Chorus]
D#dim Em C G D D#dim
When you get caught in what they want
Em C D D#dim
It’s hard to remember who you are
Em C G D D#dim
A wild heart left in the dark
Am D7 G Bm E
But the light can no longer be ignored
