BmSomebody's shouting up at a mountain
Only my own words return
Nobody's up there, it's a deception
When will I ever DleEmarn
I'm aBmlone here
With Gemptiness Bmeagles and Dsnow
UnGfriendliness Bmchilling my Dbody
And Gwhispering Bmpictures of Ghome
Riff
Verse 2
Wondering blindly how can they find me
Maybe they don't even know
My body is shaking, anticipating
The call of the black footed crow
I'm alone here
With emptiness, eagles and snow
Unfriendliness chilling my body
And taunting with pictures of home
Guitar solo: Bm
Verse 3
Here in this prison of my own making
Year after day I have grown
Into a hero but there's no worship
Where have they hidden my thrown
I'm alone here
With emptiness, eagles and snow
Unfriendliness chilling my body
And screaming out pictures of home

Gm (Verse 3)
We ended up at the Grand Hotel
It was empty, cold and bare
But with the Rolling truck Stones thing just outside
Making our music there
With a few red lights, a few old beds
We made a place to sweat
No matter what we get out of this
I know, I know we'll never forget
CSmoke on the Ab7water,Gm a fire in the sky
CSmoke on the Ab7water
