[G] [D]
I've heard you [G] sing your songs, they make me cry
[D]
And I wondered who you [G] are [D] And I whispered [G] a prayer [D] that drifted up
and past [G] the stars [D] You [G] don't know my name, you wouldn't recognize
my face [D] I'm an unfamiliar person [G] in an unfamiliar
place [D] [G]
[D] [G]
[D] I've watched [G] you build your walls from a
distance [D] And I wondered [G] what's inside
[D] Why is [G] it you speak so [D] loudly, as you have so much to [G] hide
[D] I guess [G] it doesn't matter in a world that doesn't listen
[D] A world that doesn't help you find what [Gm] it doesn't [D] know you're [Gm] missing
I [G]
[D] [G]
[D] hear [A] you, [E]
[D] [Am] I hear [A] [E] you, though [D]
[G] I've [D]
[G] [D]
seen [G] you wear your mask, your pretty
smile [D]
But I know [G] you've cried your tears
[D]
And I watched you play the part of the strong man, but you're haunted by your fears
And I listened to the voice of a thousand modern sages praise your tired, bitter words
They smile as they say it, and I look on in amazement
And I have to wonder if they [G] really heard
All the fire in your voice as you cried out to the night
[D] On your hollow, empty whisper, [Gm] asking, am I alright
[D] [A] I hear you, [Gm]
[D] [Am] I hear [A] [E] you, though I [G] don't know what you've been through
I [Gm] could never really [D] know all the weight you've had to carry
[A] Down the road [D] that you must go, [G] but if there's any ground between us
Just know that I'll be moving [D] toward your [A] voice
[D]
Tonight you're all [G] dressed up in shadows,
[D] and I can [G] hardly see your [D] face
Darkness makes the space that surrounds [G] you
[D] seem like such a lonely place
[G]
[D] But I step to the edge [G] to look across the great [D] divide
My face set to the [G] wind, and my eyes are open wide
[D] Cause I'm looking from inside, I'm listening for your call
And through the darkness, and the loudness, and the madness of it all
I hear [G] [D]
you, [G] I [D] hear [G] [D]
you
Oh, oh, oh, oh, [G] [D]
oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
