[G] She closed her eyes and let the walls of her [D] prison fall away.
The walls that ached with timeless weight, that had [G] become her walls in this one TV image.
[D] She closed her eyes and let them fall away.
And in her dreams [C] she is standing by an ocean.
[G] She is gazing out to sea.
She can remember with just a fleeting glimpse that she was.
[C]
[G] So long ago now.
So long it was as if it had never been.
Was it a holiday?
She thinks it could have been.
Ah yes, Italy.

[G]
And he closes his eyes and [Am]
[Bm] he is gone.
Gone where?
Gone from all [D] his confusion.
[C] Gone from the pain.
He can easily see what a pointless waste [G] this one wall has become.
Chasing the gravy train.
[Cm] Chasing the dog.
Chasing the king.
Chasing his male friends.
Chasing, chasing it like it was everything.
It was only [G] the sound of his own breathing.
It was all he really had at the end of the day.
And reasons to wonder, reasons to cry.
Too late for this selfish sinner who never asked why.
The walls that ached with timeless weight, that had [G] become her walls in this one TV image.
[D] She closed her eyes and let them fall away.
And in her dreams [C] she is standing by an ocean.
