Halfway Home Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[G]

[Verse 1]
The [G]lazy way they turned your head
Into a rest stop for the dead

[Verse 2]
And did it all in gold and blue and grey
[G]
The efforts to allay your dread,
In [C]spite of all you knew and said,
Were [G]hard to see and harder still to say

[Verse 3]
[G]
A comfort plush all laced in lead
Was [C]sent to quell your [G]sentiment[C]
And [G]keep your trembling

[Verse 4]
sentinel hand at bay
[G]
And when a sudden silhouette
Es[C]caped the top-side of of your bed
I [G]knew you'd never ever [C]be [G]the same

[Verse 5]
[G]
Is it not me?
Am I not [F]folded by your touch?
The words you [Cm]spoke
I know too much
It's over [G]now

[Verse 6]
And not enough
[G]
Is it not me?
The damage you [F]hold inside your blush?
The load you [Cm]towed
You showed it up
It's over [G]now

[Verse 7]
And I'm insane
[G]
Wild spirits winds from out your chest
Col[C]lides with world and wilderness
It [G]needs a gentle hand to call it home

[Verse 8]
[G]
Now surfs the sun and scales the [C]moon
[G]And [C]winds the waistband of her womb
All [G]eyes ablaze the day you break your mold

[Verse 9]
Is it [G]not me?
Am I not [F]culled into your clutch?
The words you [Cm]spoke
I know too much
We're closer now
[G]And said enough

[Verse 10]
[G]
Is it not me?
Am I not [F]rolled into your crush?
The road you [Cm]choose
Unloads control
See it take me [G]so

[Verse 11]
Go on throw this [G]stone

[Outro 1]
Into this halfway home
[G][C][Eb][G]
[C][Eb][G][C]
