Shelter
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I'm a hurricane
I'm a freight train
Ain't the right way
But it's the only way I know
So when my bones come tumblin' in
I did it to myself
Will you still let me in
Will you give me shelter?
Will you give me shelter?
Will you give me shelter?
From myself
Will you give me shelter?
Will you give me shelter?
Will you give me shelter?
From myself
From myself
I'm a world of pain
And you're a safe place
When I run away
You're the only home I know
I'm still runnin'
I'm still runnin'
So when my bones come tumblin' in
Oh I did it to myself
Will you still let me in
Will you give me shelter?
Will you give me shelter?
Will you give me shelter?
From myself
Will you give me shelter?
Will you give me shelter?
Will you give me shelter?
From myself
From myself
Ooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh
Cause I need shelter
Ooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh
From myself
'Cause when my bones come tumblin' in
Oh I did it to myself
Will you still let me in
Will you still let me in
Will you give me shelter?
Will you give me shelter?
Will you give me shelter?
From myself
Will you give me shelter?
Will you give me shelter?
Will you give me shelter?
From myself
From myself
'Cause I'm a hurricane
I'm a freight train
