Secret Of The Stars
The Milk Carton Kids


Capo II


      Am                                         E
the only time i ever heard the voice of god
                    F                                         C                             E
was in the silence of the night in the arms of the one i love
Dm                   G     C/H   Am
staring at the ceiling up above
      G                          E                      Am
like it contained the secrets of the stars


any time i ever woke up in a dream
i saw my shadow there staring back at me
moving through the walls and wondering
as all the world rose up inside of me

      F                                E
and i long to hear the melody
         Am  G      F                         Dm
that one time played inside my mind
         F                                     E
and to love another helplessly
       Am           G     F     E          F      E Esus4 E
so breathing feels like putting out a fire

any time my life flashes in front of me
i see a child there as if on a screen
standing in the shadows flickering
for a moment i know what it means

all this time i lived inside a memory
daylight creeping in through a crack in the weathered seams
severing the ties and trembling
losing all the voices in the wind

and i long to hear the melody
that one time played inside my mind
and to love another helplessly
so breathing feels like putting out a fire
