[Strophe]
G                      Bm 
Salt of the earth, my friend
      G                      Bm 
It's all that we are in the end
           G                              Bm 
Well, you trapped down all the lines you drew
     G                                                  Bm 
And I can take the hit but I'm sorry, I don't want the bruise
[Pre-Refrain]
 C 
Your voice gets a little loud
 Cm                                     G       Bm 
When there's nothing to talk about, you shout, dear
 C 
And I'll find my lights fading out
Cm 
More and more by the hour
         G       Bm 
It gets dark in here
[Refrain]
            C      Cm      G 
If you got time enough for me
           C        Cm        G 
Sing me a song and send me to sleep
          C        Cm           G 
Slip into my headspace while I dream
          C             Cm        G 
Spin me a yarn, wrap it up around me
[Interlude]
G   Bm
[Strophe]
G                 Bm 
Dust to dust, my friend
 G 
Well, you're only blood and bones
                                          Bm 
And I know your heart's at war with your head
     G                Bm 
I am sure it hurt to see
                  G 
You're more than I'll ever have
                        Bm 
And more than I'll ever be
[Pre-Refrain]
 C 
I know it's a little late
Cm 
My timing was never great
          G        Bm 
But I'm calling, dear
C 
I just wanted to let you know
Cm 
That I won't bother you anymore
        G                   Bm 
I'll be gone this time next year
[Refrain]
            C      Cm      G 
If you got time enough for me
           C        Cm        G 
Sing me a song and send me to sleep
          C        Cm           G 
Slip into my headspace while I dream
          C             Cm        G     Bm 
Spin me a yarn, wrap it up around me
           C       Cm      G 
If you got time enough for me
           C        Cm         G 
Sing me a song and send me to sleep
                        C         Cm        G 
I never thought that a lie could sound so sweet
                        C 
Until you opened your mouth
        Cm              G 
And you said you loved me
