 Am         G          D    Am
Sand rains down and here I sit  
 Am           G        
Holding rare flowers  
 D     Am G D Am G D
In a tomb     
              
 Am                   G             D        Am G D
Down in a hole and I don't know if I can be saved

Down in a hole and they've put all  
     D               Am  G  D
The stones in their place  
 Am                      G
Ive eaten the sun so my tongue  
          D             Am G  D                   
Has been burned of the taste  
 Am              
I have been guilty  
    G           D         Am G  D 
Of kicking myself in the teeth  
 Am                  
I will speak no more  
    G       D   Am   G D
Of my feelings beneath

Oh I want to be inside of you

But my wings have been so denied 
 
At the end of the song strum Am down once.
