Intro: C  Em  


[Verso 1]

C                      Em 
Salt of the earth, my friend 
     C                      Em 
It's all that we are in the end 
          C                              Em 
Well, you trapped down all the lines you drew 
    C                                                  Em 
And I can take the hit but I'm sorry, I don't want the bruise 

F 
   Your voice gets a little loud 
Fm                                         C      Em                                
   When there's nothing to talk about, you shout, dear 
F 
   And I'll find my lights fading out 
Fm 
   More and more by the hour 
        C       Em 
It gets dark in here

           F     Fm         C 
If you got time enough for me 
          F        Fm           C 
Sing me a song and send me to sleep 
          F        Fm           C 
Slip into my headspace while I dream 
          F            Fm          C   Em         
Spin me a yarn, wrap it up around me

C                Em 
Dust to dust, my friend 
             C                 
Well, you're only blood and bones 
                                         Em 
And I know your heart's at war with your head 
     C               Em 
I am sure it hurt to see 
                 C 
You're more than I'll ever have 
                        Em 
And more than I'll ever be 

F  
  I know it's a little late 
Fm 
  My timing was never great 
        C        Em 
But I'm calling, dear 
F 
  I just wanted to let you know 
Fm 
That I won't bother you anymore 
        C                    Em 
I'll be gone this time next year

If you got time enough for me 
          F        Fm           C 
Sing me a song and send me to sleep 
          F        Fm           C 
Slip into my headspace while I dream 
          F            Fm         C     Em 
Spin me a yarn, wrap it up around me 

           F       Fm      C 
If you got time enough for me 
           F       Fm          C 
Sing me a song and send me to sleep 
                       F         Fm        C 
I never thought that a lie could sound so sweet 
                      F 
Until you opened your mouth 
         Fm                   C 
And you said you loved me
