[Verse 1]
[Am]Sometimes[Dm]
[Am]For a mo[C]ment of bl[Am]iss[D]
[Dm]In the passi[Am]on[Dm]
[C]We're crav[Am]ing[Dm]
There's [Am]a message we miss

Through the holes in my hand
[Em]s[G]
[Am](Through the holes [Em]in my[Am]
[Dm]hand[Em]s)[C]
Crown of thorns at my side

[Am]At my side[Dm] ye ye[G] y[Am]eah)[Dm]
Drawing lines in [Em]the sand[Am]

[Interlude 1]
[Dm][Eb][Em][Am][Ebdim]
[Am]Sometimes

[Verse 5]
If you're perfectly still
You can hear the virgin weeping
For the savior of your will

[Verse 6]
[Am]Sometimes
Your castles in the air
And the fantasies you're seeking
Are the crosses you bear
[C]Sacred

[Dm]tide[G])[Am][C][Dm]
Through the holes in my
hand[Em]s
[G](Through the holes [Am]in my h[Em]and
[Am]s ye[Dm]ah)[Em][C]
Crown of thorns at my side
[Dm](Crown of thor[Am]ns at my
[Dm]side[G])[Am][Dm]
Drawing lines in the [Em]sand[Am]

[F][Dm][C][G]
[F][Dm][Am][G]
[Am]fabricate our demons
In[C]vite them into our homes
Have [G]supper [Gsus2]with the aliens[G]
And [Dm]fight the war alone
[C]We [Am]conjure up our skeletons
En[C]list the den of thieves
[G]Frightened from our closets
[Dm]Then sewn [D]upon our [Dm]sleeves
[C][F]

[Verse 10]
[F]In the stream of [Dm]consciousness[C]
There is a [G]river crying
[F]Living comes much eas[Dm]ier[Am]
Once we ad[G]mit[Gsus2]
We're dying
[Am]

[Verse 11]
[Am]Sometimes
In the wreckage of our wake
[Dm]There's [Am]a bit[Dm]terness we har[Am]bor
[Dm]And [Am]hate for hatred's sake

[Verse 12]
[Am]Sometimes
We dig an early [D]grave[Am]
[Dm]And crucify our instincts
For the [Am]hope we couldn't save

[Verse 13]
[Am]Sometimes
A view from sinless eyes
[Dm]Cen ters our p[C]erspective
[Dm]And paci[Am]fies our cries

[Verse 14]
[Am]Sometimes
The anguish we survive
And [Dm]the mysteries [C]we [Dm]nurtu[C]re[Dm]
[Am]Are the fabrics of our lives
[Em][Am][Dm]

[Verse 15]
[Em][C]
Swept away with [Dm]the tide
[Am](Swept away [D]with tide[G]
[Am]yeea[C]h)[Dm]
Through the holes in my [D]hands
[Em](Through the [Am]holes
[Em]Holes [Am]in m[G]y hand[C]s)
Crown of thorns at my [Dm]side
[Am](Crown of thorns at my [D]side
[G]yea[Am]h)[Dm]
Drawing lines in the [Am]sand
