A night so untamed 
     C         Csus2/B    Am        3p2h3p2h3p2 
  Csus2/B   Am 
The ground opened up and swallowed, all of the rain 
      3p2h3p2h3p2     C  Csus2/B   Am 
And it swallowed you too... 
     3p2h3p2h3p2  C   Csus2/B   Am  3p2h3p2h3p2 
Into distance unknown

As they sat down for dinner they waited for you to get home 
                 G 
Yeah, they set a...place for you.

It isn't...     all  your   fault 
               C  Csus2/B   Am          3p2h3p2h3p2 
It's just these sha - king  hands won't do 
 
        C       Csus2/B    Am   3p2h3p2h3p2 
what I want them  ...  to. 
 
        C  Csus2/B    Am   3p2h3p2h3p2 
And I've tried    to guess  what  it, 
C  Csus2/B  Am     3p2h3p2h3p2 
 Is  you  thought about 
 
      C        Csus2/B        Am (let ring) 
     F 
That act of contrition that rolled off our tongues as you wept. 
             G 
What are you...crying for? 
      C   Csus2/B Am  (let ring)   F 
Just dust...my   heart and you will find 
                   G 
There are no fingers printed there 
         C    Csus2/B    Am (let ring)   F 
Just the un...touched...place that lies inside 
         G                 C    Csus2/B  Am 
3p2h3p2h3p2 
Of every...lonely boy...tonight.
