[Verse 1]
Em                       C              G
Little girl sorrow comes knocking at my door
  Em                      C                G
I give her what I can but she always wants more
    Em                    C           G
And I want to borrow the future so it doesn't hurt
                D
But I know it's gotta hurt


[Chorus]
Em7                      Cadd9           G           D/F#
Grief stays outside your house until you let it in
Em7                       Cadd9          G                D/F#
Sits down for tea and you tell it about where you've been
       Em7              Cadd9
And it listens, and you feel
       G                 D/F#
And it whispers, and you heal
    Em7   G/B   Cadd9      G
And suddenly it leaves you free


[Verse 2]
   Em               C            G
Oh Goliath guilt is hiding in my cupboard
    Em               C                  G
She dresses me up in darkness tilll I'm covered
    Em                C                     G
And I want to skip to forgiveness, disguise all my doubts
               D
But I've gotta face it now


[Chorus]
Em7                      Cadd9           G           D/F#
Grief stays outside your house until you let it in
Em7                       Cadd9          G                D/F#
Sits down for tea and you tell it about where you've been
       Em7              Cadd9
And it listens, and you feel
       G                 D/F#
And it whispers, and you heal
    Em7   G/B   Cadd9      G
And suddenly it leaves you free

[Verse 3]
Em                 C                   G
My friend peace is out there somewhere waiting
Em                   C             G
Sitting in sunlight, smiling, ever patient
    Em                     C                G
And I want to tell her I'm coming but she already knows
             D
As soon as I let it go


[Chorus]
Em7                      Cadd9           G           D/F#
Grief stays outside your house until you let it in
Em7                       Cadd9          G                 D/F#
Sits down for tea and you tell it about where you've been
       Em7              Cadd9
And it listens, and you feel
       G                 D/F#
And it whispers, and you heal
    Em7  G/B    Cadd9
And suddenly it leaves you
Em7   G/B   Cadd9         G
Suddenly it leaves you... free
