Verse
E           A   E
Cold had I calloused
            Am    E  E9 E   A
Walls were raised to bear the weight
        E
I'd not take
                 A  E
Too slow were my senses
      Am  E   E9  E    A
Muted musings lost their way
       D  A
Disconnected
      Dm         A
Only silence remained
D            A            E
Holding my breath in the dark
            B
Gasping for air
                    E
With the lungs of a lark
                A    E
So warm was the welcome
       Am        E      
Humble in its embrace

Tell me just how did you save me?

Pull me up from the grave
            Dm          A
Though my youth did mislead

I would retreat to you

Right back to your arms
          D       A
With my spirit aglow
           Dm           A
Where the pains of the past
D          A            E
Exit and mask through you
                  B
Too lost when we part
                      E
With the lungs of a lark
Bridge
B
I (far removed from myself)
        A          E
Had denied what I lost
          A            E            B
When my heart had withdrawn to the fray (In a whimsical way)
          A             E
I would flee from the truth
         A       E
I could bury in youth
B
You (you would have me)
                            A      E
You would have me if I've fallen again
            A           E           B   
Would you bring me back out of the dark?
                     E
With my lungs of a lark

But these walls are coming down
