Couldn't tame the voices in my head
Wild dogs, just screaming to be fed
So I got stoned and played guitar instead
Followed songs and danced between the walking dead

And when the world gets tough
I learned to sing like no one's listenin'
It fills me up
I let the wonder of the music be enough
To hold this wounded little boy I've learned to love
Oh sweet chariot

You carried me through heartbreak and despair
You buried secrets in the vinyls that we share
And while I've known I'm always in repair
This symphony inside of me has never cared

And when the world gets tough
I learned to sing like no one's listenin'
It fills me up
I let the wonder of the music be enough
To hold this wounded little boy I've learned to love
Oh sweet chariot

And when the world gets tough
I learned to sing like no one's listenin'
It fills me up
I let the wonder of the music be enough
To hold this wounded little boy I've learned to love
Oh sweet chariot
