[Intro]
E     A  Am  E

[Verse 1]
E
Overlapping lives in time
E
Cross and fade and intertwine
     A        Am        E
When love and hearts combine

[Chorus]
G         D    E
Hang your head down
     G           D
What no one ever wants,
     Am             D
you find in large amounts
    Am            D
You fall into the blue,
                E
then it’s gone

[Verse 2]
E
Even in the smallest things
A
I could feel it guiding me
    E
And there was nothing
 I could bring
   A
To rein it in,
    Am           E
to put the fire out

Hang your head down

What no one ever wants,
     Am             D
 you find in large amounts
    Am            D
You fall into the blue,
              E
 then it’s gone
