Capo  1 


          Em 
There's a hole in my heart 
          Cadd9 
which you used to get your air 
         Am                              C      
It won't beat again for at least another year. 

    Em                               Cadd9 
You cut it out yourself, so you wont suffocate in there 
     Am                         C      
Your patience is losing to your fear, 

      Em 
When collecting angels come 
       Cadd9 
I will rush to find your prayers 
        Am                              C 
They're buried in the closet under the stairs 

      Em 
under boxes of my dreams 
        Cadd9 
and the clutter of my fears 
   Am                                  C 
my selfishness is probably why they're here 

            Em 
and I kept digging my own grave 
             Cadd9 
I'm close to 30 miles deep 
      Am                                C 
I can taste the other side and it isn't pretty 

               Em 
and I left my lover in a bottle 
      Cadd9 
and I threw it out to sea 
                Am                                  C 
as soon as she left my fingertips I prayed she come back to me 
     D 
come back to me baby 

G-D-Em-C 
I lost her (7x) 

       Em 
I will never stitch the hole you cut 
   Cadd9 
In hopes that you will return to me 
       Am                            C        
I will work to be a man yes you will see 
            Am                              C       (D) 
yes I will work to be your man yes you will see. 

End on G
