 C F                                 C
   They turned their backs I made it too hard
 F                                            C
 Everyplace they touchched me is a laceration now
 F
 Sometimes a wind comes out of nowhere and
                     C        F
 Knocks you off your feet and look
        G                   C            F    C
 See my tears they fill the whole night sky
 G               C
 The whole night sky
 F                                 C
 Derailed and desperate  how did I get here ?
 F                                                C
 Hanging from this high wire by the tatters of my faith
 F
 Sometimes a wind comes out of nowhere and
                     C        F
 Knocks you off your feet and look
        G                   C            F    C
 See my tears they fill the whole night sky
 G               C
 The whole night sky

 SOLO

 F
 Sometimes a wind comes out of nowhere and
            C             F
 Knocks you sideways and look
        G                   C            F    C
 See my tears they fill the whole night sky
 G               C
 The whole night sky
