(Section A)

Faultless in the eyes that I could never open wide

enough to see me through

Much to my surprise it never orbits around the things

you should hold me to

(Section B)

I stand here...wondering

And I'm waiting

Chorus:(Section C)

My ear is twisted in all the thoughts

A glimpse of truce just because

It's always almost never close

I close my eyes, hide the distance

(Section D)

Enchanted by the face of peace and when it turns to

sunken eyes and waterfalls

Unsatisfied with simple things entangled in the chords,

I can't take any calls

(Section B)

I stand here waiting

I'm calling

[Chorus](Section C)

Refrain (**actual chords** Not chord shapes relative to capo.)

BM G#M C#m C#m/B BM

Waiting around for some kind of peace

G#M C#m C#m/B AM F#m AM Bm(into section C)

Hoping you find me in my need

(Section C)

My ear is twisted

It's always almost

[Chorus]
