_ [E] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[E] Why did you steal the matches from the one-room motel?
Once they gave you answers
Now they give you hell
They will never understand they wonder where did they go wrong?
How could you be so selfish?
Why can't you get along and as you [F#] pray?
_ in [A] your darkness
_ for
Wings to [A] set you free
_ [F#] You are bound
Your [A] silence
legacy

[B] _ Craving the affection your blood is full of heat.

[B] _ Deny all that you feel and they will bring you home again and as [F#m] you pray _

[B] The empty aching out _ trying to conceive

in your darkness
_ _ _ [E] _
to set you [A] free
You are bound Your silence
_ [E] _ legacy
You _ _ _ _ [A] _ _ _
_ _ _ [B] _ are [E] digging for the answers until your fingers bleed
[B] To satisfy the hunger
to satiate the need and ache
But if you want the guilt to keep you hopeful
Keep you low
Some man in me may lay down my bones
And he gives it all [A] as you [F#m] pray
[F#]
in your [A] darkness [E] for
