The Milk Carton Kids – Secrets of the Stars
Capo II
Am E
the only time i ever heard the voice of god
F C E
was in the silence of the night in the arms of the one i love
Dm G C C/H Am
staring at the ceiling up above
G E Am
like it contained the secrets of the stars
Am E
any time i ever woke up in a dream
F C E
i saw my shadow there staring back at me
Dm G C C/H Am
moving through the walls and wondering
G E Am
as all the world rose up inside of me
F E
and i long to hear the melody
Am G F Dm
that one time played inside my mind
F E
and to love another helplessly
Am G F E F E Esus4 E
so breathing feels like putting out a fire
Am E
any time my life flashes in front of me
F C E
i see a child there as if on a screen
Dm G C C/H Am
standing in the shadows flickering
G E Am
for a moment i know what it means
Am E
all this time i lived inside a memory
F C E
daylight creeping in through a crack in the weathered seams
Dm G C C/H Am
severing the ties and trembling
G E Am
losing all the voices in the wind
F E
and i long to hear the melody
Am G F Dm
that one time played inside my mind
F E
and to love another helplessly
Am G F E F E Esus4 E
so breathing feels like putting out a fire
(Everytime you play the E-Chord you can play an Esus4 first)
