[Verse 1]

           
I'll never for

The place wher

              
e you were in 

             
my heart is no

   
w closed
             
I already live

             
 with too many

     
 ghosts


[Verse 2]

           
Now everybody 

            
lately is livi

          
ng up in space
           
Flying through

             
 transmissions

             
 on invisible 


airwaves
             
With everythin

              
g discovered j

             
ust waiting to

     
 be known
             
What's left fo

             
r God to teach

          
 from his thro

ne?
             
And who will f

             
orgive us when

      
 he's gone?


[Chorus]

             
So take what y

    
ou need now Ho

ney
             
and do what yo
