dead leaves and the dirty ground when I know you're not around 
shiny tops and soda pops when i hear you lips make a sound 
       F             G       A 
when i hear you lips make a sound 
 
thirty notes in the mailbox will tell you that i'm coming home 
and i think i'm gonna stick around for a while so you're not alone 
 
if you can hear a piano fall you can hear me coming down the hall 
if i could just hear your pretty voice i don't think i'd neeed to see at all 
 
soft hair and a velvet tongue i want to give you what yo give to me 
and every breath that is in your lungs is a tiny little gift to me 
 
D                             A 
i didn't feel so bad til the sun went down 
D 
then i come home 
                  F 
no one to wrap my arms around 
              G 
wrap my arms around 
 
well any man with a microphone can tell you what loves the most 
and you know why you love at all if you've thinking of the holy ghost
