G                       Bm                C/G             GI've got a plan for my demons, I'm gonna meet them in the morning
G                         Bm                         C             AmWe'll televise it like a prize fight they'll never know the fix is in
G                       Bm                  C                      GI'll take a fall in the first round get my lip split landing face down
Em                        G*Never bet against your sin

G                 Bm                 C          AmPackin up all my loose ends with a suitcase and guitar
G                       Bm            C                 GI always make it to the taxi with my bags packed in the back seat
Em                       GBut I never get too far

[Chorus]
C                  G            C           GFrom that lonesome feeling of a hollow chest
C              G            DThe cage is empty, all the songbirds left
C             G              C            G    EmThe credits rolling, oh the screen went dark
    G*          Em     GI lost my heart

[Verse 2]
G                      Bm                 C              GI've been putting on a brave face when i say grace every evening
G                    Bm               C           AmHolding faith like a hostage till I lost it one night
G                   Bm                       C                        GNow i'm healing at the bed side with the shades drawn and my hands tied
Em                    GNo it never takes long

[Chorus]
C             G             C          GThat lonesome feeling of a hollow chest
C             G             DThe cage is empty, all the songbirds left
C              G         C                G   EmThe wolves are waiting, they sew them apart
       G*              EmAnd I lost my heart
   GI lost my heart

[Verse 3]
G                  Bm                   C                 GI cut a hole in my window where all my dreams go in the morning
G                  Bm                 C           AmSettle down on the sidewalk like a fine chalk dust
G                       Bm                 C                       GStill my lovers having nightmares as she lies there right beside me
Em                       GNo she's never far enough

[Chorus]
C                  G            C           GFrom that lonesome feeling of a hollow chest
C              G            DThe cage is empty all the songbirds left
C              G             C          GDon't you worry don't you lose your heart
Em       G*I will sing their part
Em       G*I will sing their part
Em       G*I will sing their part
