[Verse 1]
[Am]I am[F][G][Am][F][Gsus4][G]
[Am]the rattle of the [F]glas[G]s,
[Gsus4]a glimpse[G] of[Am] travelers as they pass.[F][G][Gsus4][G]
[F]When you are tired I am the last
[C]stop on the[G] lin[Gsus4]e[G]
[Am]The ghost of other
[F]people's [G]lives[Gsus4][G]
[Am]The cold com[F]fort to
[G]the [Gsus4]wives[G]
[F]Who gaze out on incoming [C]tides
Looking for [G]a s[Gsus4]ign[G]
[Am]I am the symbols on th[F]e door[G]
Dis[Am]carded clothes
[F]upon the [G]floor
[F]Children returning from [C]the
war inside [G]themselves
[Am]A kind conspiracy of[F]
[Am]mir [G]rors[Gsus4][G]
[Am]Say far before y[F]our [G]fears,
[F]I am the witness to the t[C]ears you cried for y[G]ourself.
[C]Look the world right in [G]the eyes, know the wicked from the [F]wise,
let the wind blow north and [C]south, [G]res[Bb]t inside my ope[F]n arms, I am the how[C]l.[G]
[C]I am the pictures on the w[G]all,
echo voices in the [F]hall,
The place you took this solemn [C]call,
you would [G]have gone.
[C]I am the memory of f[G]riends,
folks you'll never see [F]again,
I am the light that doesn't [C]end with the [G]sun
[Gsus4].[Am][F][G][Am][F][Am][G]
[Am]I am the scent of [F]milk and coal
[Gsus4]The world[G]'s[Am]
last station of his [G]soul
[F]A place to share a grass a[C]nd bone,
a place [G]to sing.
[Am]I am the dwell[F]ing of the poor,[G]
[Am]frail spirits [F]round [G]the door.
[F]A place to start your journey h[C]ome,
community
[G]Loo[C]k the world right in the eye[G]s,
know the wicked from the [F]wise
Let the wind blow north and [C]south,
[G]res[Bb]t inside my open arm[F]s
I [C]am the [G]howl
[C]Look the world right in [G]the eyes
Blow the wicked from the [F]wise
Let the wind blow north and [C]south[G]
[Bb]Rest inside my [F]open arms
I am the [C]howl
I [G]am [Am]now[F][G]
I am [Am]now[G][Am][F][G]
I am the [Am]house [G]I a[Am]m th[F]e ho[G]use[Am][G]
I am
you
