[Intro]
Dsus2    D    Dsus2    D

[Verse 1]
D              F#m7
    Silence in the house
G                        F#m7
    Balanced on the balcony
G
    Just a breath of wind could
D              A/C#       A7sus4    A7
    Set it all tumbling free

[Verse 2]
D                   F#m7
    Look into my throat
G                           F#m7
    Whoeverís singing isnít me
G
    Cos Iím a prisoner of
D               A/C#            A7sus4    A7
    Who all you listeners might be

[Chorus]
    Dmaj7
Cos my soul is stolen
F#m7
Taken in my shallow youth
          G
And Iíd love you all to look but
               A7          Dmaj7
Hate if you mistook it for truth
(Dmaj7)
My soul is stolen
  F#m7
I took it from a girl I knew
         G
And I covered it with trinkets
        A7                             D
So that maybe you would think it was you

[Guitar solo]
D    F#m7    G    F#m7    G    D    A/C#    A7sus4    A7     D

[Verse 3]
D              F#m7
Silence in the house
G                  F#m7
    Wherever can I be
G
    Iím on the rooftop calling
D               F#m7
    As all your souls are falling
G                A7             D
    Like rain into the heart of me
