Chalk

C Am Dm G C Am Dm G C C Am Dm Each time that I hold the dice G C the numbers fade C Am Dm and Leavin' marks in my hands G C where the chalk and dust remain C Am Dm but lies can be read like notes G C She said I'd leave for Spain Am Dm She could've known that city's life G C from the model she gave me Am Dm Some would ask for more G fool them with silence C Am cast the stone down Dm and at what they saw G just to follow the siren C Am as she moved on Dm and passed through the crowd G C She carried our hearts out F G it's true that some words are lost G cause you chose not to hear them C Am Dm G C Am Dm G C Am Dm G C Am Dm G C Am Dm The eyes of two years have marked G new lines on her face C Am Dm they pass me by in the dark G my hands haven't changed C Am Dm with a crayon and pen from a can G C She drew a map of Spain F Still have it now G with a little white C but the markings are fading Am Dm Some would ask for more G fool them with silence C Am cast the stone down Dm and at what they saw G just to follow the siren C Am as she moved on Dm and passed through the crowd G C She carried our hearts out F G it's true that some words are lost G cause you chose not to hear them F No ohhh C Am Dm G C Am Dm G C Am Dm G C Am Dm G C
