TUNING - Eb Bb F# C# Ab Eb (1/2 step down)
There are a couple more versions of this song on the net, but this
one is more accurate. I taped the I&I on MuchMusic, and found that
this is the way Raine plays it...or very close to.
I?m not sure about the lyrics at the end of the song. I?m pretty
sure he says "I?ve been weighed down," though he could be saying
"I?ve been way down."

INTRO - Cm, Eb, Ab - 2X
I?m teething on the answers you?re saving
How are gonna make me sleep again?
I?m dreaming while you?re stealing babies
When are you gonna make me understand?
How should I say "I?m so sorry?"
How should I pray, to know that we?re alive?
Eve stands alone by the knock on the door
By the thin her bones, she?s courageous and loving
Exhausted & cold, she?s not ready to go
So the ghost on the phone
Helps her safely into her dream
REPEAT INTRO (1X)
You?re leaving pieces of family
How are you gonna help them understand?
I?m screaming while you?re stealing babies
Why do you want to knock us down again?
How should I say "I?m so sorry?"
How should we pray, to make us feel alive?
Ever stands alone by the knock on the door
By the thin in her bones
She?s courageous and loving
Exhausted and cold, she?s not ready to go
So the ghost on the phone
Helps her safely into her dreams
Do do do do do do
Do do do do do do
Do do do do do do
Do do do dooo
Do do do do do do
Do do do do do do
Do do do do do do, do do do do do do
It must be our egos
It must be my lack
A fate that it might not come back
I?ve been weighed down again, (I)
Weighed down again
G....
Weighed down, weighed down, weighed down, down, down....
