Intro:
D 


Verse 1:
D               Am   
I've never been alone
               G   
Long enough to know
                D    
If I ever was a child


D                    Am  
I was tied up like a boat
                   G   
On a button like a coat
               D    
Set free for a while


Chorus:
    Em                     Gm   
I'd jump to jolt my clumsy blood
         D            A   
While my white, green eyes


Verse 2:
D                 Am  
Cry like a window pane
                  G     
Can my cold heart change
            D     
Even out of spite?


Solo:
D  Am  G  D 


Chorus:
  Em            Gm              D    
I saw behind my brain a haunted stain
         A    
It never fades
  Em                   Gm         A   
I hunt for the kind of pain I can take


Verse 3:
      D                 Am  
And I cry like a window pane
                  G     
Can my cold heart change
     D     
Over night?

   D                    Am   
So I won't ever want to touch
               G   
Your heart too much
                D    
Or hold you too tight

Chorus:
  Em            Gm              D    
I saw behind my brain a haunted stain
          A    
I'll never fade
  Em                   Gm         A   
I hunt for the kind of pain I can take

Coda:
D           Am   
I never was alone
               G   
Long enough to know
                D    
If I ever was a child
