[Intro]
D   D7      G    Gm
D   Em A7   D
[Verse]
D    Em       Bm7    A7         D 
Helpless, she lies across the stairs 
D              Em     Bm7  A7         D 
Haunting your days, consuming your prayers 
D              Em                Bm7         A7        D 
There will be healing, but don't force this girl to stand 
          D            Em                  Bm7         A7        D 
As she's counting the ceilings, with pale voice and trembling hands
[Chorus]
Em                    A7        D             G 
You told me life was long, but now that it's gone, 
     D               Em           F#m           G 
You find yourself on top, as the leader of a flock 
A7                               D   D7   G   Gm   D   Em A7   D 
Called to be a rock for those below
[Verse]
D          Em            Bm7           A7             D 
Whispered notes from the piano in the corner of the room 
D           Em             Bm7                  A7              D 
Hold your throat, is that healing that you're hearing in her tune? 
D         Em         Bm7        A7           D 
Wanting change, but loving her just as she lies 
        D            Em         Bm7       A7       D 
Is the burden of the man who's built his life on love
[Chorus]
Em                    A7        D             G 
You told me life was long, but now that it's gone, 
     D               Em           F#m           G 
You find yourself on top, as the leader of a flock 
A7                               D   D7   G   Gm   D   Em A7   D 
Called to be a rock for those below
[Verse]
Em7                     A7 
I'll be locked up and stored 
Em7            A7 
In a lavender ward 
Em7                    A7 
'Cause my mind is just like hers, 
          Em7                               A7 
just as broken, just as crippled, just as burned 
            D             Em           F#m           G 
And then I find myself on top, as the leader of a flock 
A7                               D   D7   G   Gm   D   Em A7   D 
Called to be a rock for those below
