G5 (½) D5 (½) D5
She got down on hands and knees,
G5 (½) D5 (½) A5
One ear against the ground,
G5 (½) D5 (½) D5
Holding her breath to hear something,
G5 (½) D5 (½) A5
But the dirt made not a sound tonight

G5 (½) D5 (½) D5
Echoes of songs still lurk
G5 (½) D5 (½) A5
on distant foreign shores,
G5 (½) D5 (½) D5
Where we danced just to please the gods
G5 (½) D5 (½) A5
that only ask for more,
B5 (2) A5 (2)
And so it goes, but still we give ourselves to
G5 (2) G5 (hold 2)
this, We can't spend our lives waiting to live
Chorus:
D5 (2) A5 (2)
On cold nights In a prayer for
G5 (4)
dawn, but daylight isn't what she
D5 (2) A5 (2)
wants. The concrete calls my name
G5 (4)
again I'm falling through the cracks I slip

The postcard says wish you were here
G5 (½) D5 (½) A5
But I'd rather I was there,
G5 (½) D5 (½) D5
Holding on to the simple things
G5 (½) D5 (½) A5
before they disappear
B5 (2) A5 (2)
That's what I meant but that was then, and this is
G5 (2) G5 (hold 2)
now I'll make it up to you somehow
Chorus
Bridge:
B5 (2) A5 (2)
A destination a fading smile
D5 (2) E5 (2)
Another station another mile
B5 (2) A5 (2)
Another day gone I swore that I will
D5 (2) E5 (2)
Be there before dawn So be there, I will

She got down on hands and knees,
G5 (½) D5 (½) A5
One ear against the ground,
G5 (½) D5 (½) D5
Holding her breath to hear something,
G5 (½) D5 (½) A5
Any - thing at all
G5 (2) G5 (hold 2)
The dirt whispered, "Child, I'm coming home"

D5 (2) A5 (2) G5 (4)
slip Through the cracks I slip
