VERSE 1: (plucked)
Em          G             Bm Em      C9  G   C9  B
  There's a song that's inside of my soul,
Em         G              Bm Em         C9       G     C9    B
  It's the one that I've tried to write over and over again.
Em     G           Bm Em    C9   G   C9  B
  I'm awake in the infinite cold,
Em        G          Bm Em    C9       G     C9   B
  But you sing to me over and over and over again. 

CHORUS: (strummed)
       E      B         A
  So I lay my head back down,
        E       B
  And I lift my hands and
  A          C#m7
  Pray to be only yours,
    A          C#m7
  I pray to be only yours,
     C9                B
  I know now you're my only hope.

VERSE 2: (plucked)
Em        G      Bm  Em       C9   G   C9   B
  Sing to me the songs of the stars,
Em         G      Bm   Em    C9           G         C9   B
  Of your galaxy dancing and laughing and laughing again.
Em        G             Bm  Em        C9   G   C9   B
  When it feels like my dreams are so far,
Em        G         Bm  Em         C9          G     C9   B
  Sing to me of the plans that you have for me over again.

BRIDGE: (strummed)
D                 Em
  I'll give you my apathy,
D               Em 
  I'm giving you all of me.
D              Em
  I want your symphony,
  F#7                   B
  Singing in all that I am.
         A                   B
  At the top of my lungs,
      A                   B
  I'm giving it back.___
