Adam uses a strange tuning for this song. Makes it super easy to play though.

One of their best.
Drop your 3rd string down to F#. Drop your 6th to B.

Verse 1:
Em7 Em Em7 Em Em7 Em Em7
I steal a look between the blinds
Em Em7 A7
I unwind
Em7 Em Em7 Em Em7 Em Em7
She sleeps in comfort in my arms
Em Em7 A7 Em7 Em Em7 Em
She is plain, but she is mine
Em7 Em Em7 Em Em7 Em Em7
Our child is silent but awake
Em Em7 A7 Em7 Em Em7
I run my hand through his hair
Em Em7 Em Em7 Em Em7 Em Em7
I teach him manners and how to stick up
Em Em7 A7 Em7 Em Em7
For himself when things get bad
Em Em7 Em Em7 Em Em7 Em Em7
I tell him, "Son, never throw the first punch,
Em Em7 A7 Em7 Em Em7
And if you must fight, make it clean"
Chorus:
E Em7 A7
Shiola, Shiola, will all be forgiven?
E Em7 A7 E
Shiola, Shiola, am I strong enough to start again alone?
Em7 A7 E
The taste of home is filling up my mouth
Em7 A7 E
Is it wrong to love a family of ghosts?
Em7 A7 E
Her door is open, the windows are all up
Em7 A7 Em7 Em Em7
She says, "Come inside"

Verse 2:
Em Em7 Em Em7
I live alone, more or less
Em Em7 A7 Em7 Em Em7
I summon wife, child, and happiness
E Em7 A7
Build them up from the dirt and clay
E Em7 A7
I have to believe that all will be forgiven
