Breath & Bone

I jumped up & down for the moon last night
Startled by its brilliant light
Washed in mystery
Bathed in beauty (repeat last 2 lines)

(up 2) Am - G - / - - Am - :// 3x

But a woman right beside me
Was nowhere even near me
Her ear pressed to a tiny phone
She left me walking all alone (repeat last 2 lines)

Where have you gone, my friends
When your conversation never ends?
Your feet don't know they're walking
Cuz your mouth just can't stop talking

Am - G Em / D - Am - /  /  /

I've seen you reach for that glowing box
Every time the action stops
As if a moment of quietness
Would scare you into nakedness (repeat last 2 lines)

I know it's not that we don't see
It's just that in our misery 
It's easy to spin & spin so fast
We don't think about the crash (repeat last 2 lines)

Where have you gone...

And so how we all believe
That everything we really need
Is just a call or click away
You can have it all today
'Cuz it's just a call or a click away
You can have it all today

(bridge) But what of the things you can only learn
From sitting & watching a fire burn
From touching & talking face to face
From truly knowing a place?

C - D - / Am - G - :// 

Maybe we don't have to crash & burn
Maybe there's hope for us to learn
Disconnect & dial tone
Reconnect with breath & bone (repeat last 2 lines)
