[Primeira Parte]

C#m                      E
The moon is hanging low over the central station
C#m                          E
I watch the buses leave in silence, bound for foreign distant places
C#m                     E
The Andes hold me close. A mothers only son
C#m                        F#m
I feel weightless in the valley, like I'm everywhere at once

You took me home

We’re sister cities

C#m            E            B
We came here abandoned An old brick faced apartment
C#m                       E
Rusted swing set in the courtyard like the one that I was born in
C#m                           E
I'm guarded like I'm wounded, my first instinct's always “run”
C#m
I wanna turn the scene, I wanna call it off, I want a light in the dark
G#m
I wanna swallow the sun!

I was just mange and skin and bone

You took me into your home

Kept warm on a blanket from your worn out winter coat
