[Verse 1]

            
The only time 

              
I ever heard t

      
he voice of Go

d
             
Was in the sil

             
ence of the ni

            
ght in the arm

          
s of the one I

  
 love
            
Staring at the

            
 ceiling up ab

 
ove
             
Like it contai

        
ned the secret

         
s of the stars


[Verse 2]

            
Any time I eve

             
r woke up in a

  
 dream
             
I saw my shado

             
w there starin

      
g back at me
            
Moving through

            
 the walls and

 
 wondering
             
As all the wor

       
ld rose up ins

      
ide of me


[Chorus]

             
And I long to 

        
hear the melod

 
y
       
That one time 

           
played inside 

 
my mind
            
And to love an

        
other helpless


ly
                        
 
So breathing f

eels like putt

ing out a fire


[Verse 3]

            
Any time my li

              
fe flashes in 

   
front of me
             
I see a child 

             
there as if on

    
 a screen
            
Standing in th

          
e shadows flic

 
kering
            
For a moment I

        
 know what it 


means


[Solo Сhords]

    


[Verse 4]

            
All this time 

              
I lived inside

   
 a memory
             
Daylight creep

             
ing in through

        
 a crack in th

              
e weathered se


ams
            
Severing the t

        
ies and trembl

 
ing
             
Losing all the

       
 voices in the

  
 wind


[Chorus]

             
And I long to 

        
hear the melod

 
y
       
That one time 

           
played inside 

 
my mind
            
And to love an

        
other helpless


ly
                      
 
So breathing f

eels like putt

ing out a fire
