Standard Tuning
Capo 5

[Intro]
C Em C Em G D (2x)

[Verse]
C
Noises in my head
Em
And endless should-haves rain
G
On me like a storm
D
Like a hurricane
C
Losses piled up like wood
Em
Stacked stories high
G
Feels like I've been framed
D
I have no alibi

[Chorus]
C
Used to be that all I needed
G D
Was what I didn't possess
C
Yearning makes you who you
G D
End up as, more or less
C
Whatever choice I made that worked out
Em
Was just a lucky guess
G D
Just a lucky guess

[Verse]
C
Adventures half-discarded
Em
Half held onto now
G
dancing on the ledge
D
To the edge somehow
C
I can still pick out the faces
Em
Though I forget the names
G
And places that I've gone
D
But the urge remains

[Chorus]
C
To throw caution to the wind
G D
Or is it to the stars?
C
To hold out my open hands
G D
Despite my empty arms
