[Verse 1]
Am F C
Well, as a child I mostly spoke inside my head
Am F C
I had conversations with the clouds, the dogs, the dead
Am F C
And they thought my broken, that my tongue was coated lead
G F Am
But I just couldn't make my words make sense to them
G F C C11 C
If you only listen with your ears... I can't get in
Am F C
And I spent my evenings pullin' stars out of the sky
Am F C
And I'd arrange them on the lawn where I would lie
Am F C
And in the wind I'd taste the dreams of distant lives
G F Am
And I would dress myself up in them through the night
G F C C11 C
While my folks would sleep in separate beds... and wonder why
[Chorus]
Am F C

[Verse 2]
Am F C
And through them days I was a ghost atop my chair
Am F C
My dad considered me a cross he had to bear
Am F C
And in my head I'd sing apologies and stare
G F Am
As my mom would hang the clothes across the line
G F C C11 C
And she would try to keep the empty... from her eyes
Am F C
So, then one afternoon I dressed myself alone
Am F C
I packed my pillowcase with everything I owned
Am F C
And in my head I said "goodbye," then I was gone
G F Am
And I set out on the heels of the unknown
G F Am
So my folks could have a new life of their own
G F
So that maybe I could find someone
G F C C11 C
Who could hear the only words that I'd known
[Chorus]
Am F C
