A                   G
Dead leaves and the dirty ground
       C           D   A
when I know you're not around
A              G
shiny tops and soda pops
       C              D      A
when I hear your lips make a sound

when I hear your lips make a sound



A                   G
Thirty notes in the mailbox
     C                 D      A
will tell you that I'm coming home
A                     G
and I think I'm gonna stick around
      C               D    A
for a while so you're not alone

for a while so your not alone

If you can hear a piano fall 
        F              F        A
you can hear me coming down the hall
A                       G
If I can just hear your pretty voice
        C               D      A
I don't think I need to see at all

Soft hair and a velvet tongue

I wanna give you what you give to me
A                        G
and every breath that is in your lungs
     C           D       A
is a tiny little gift to me
     F           G       A  
is a tiny little gift to me

D                             A              G   A
I didn't feel so bad 'til the sun went down
D
then I come home
                       F
no one to wrap my arms around
             G
wrap my arms around



A                   G
Well any man with a microphone 
    F                F         A
can tell you what he loves the most
A                    G
And you know why you love at all 
          C               D    A
if you're thinking of the holy ghost
          F               G    A
if you're thinking of the holy ghost
