[Verse]
G#m7 Aadd9
I remember when you asked me,
F#sus4
“What do you do when it doesn’t get better,
G#m7
And you can’t decide whether
Aadd9 F#sus4
To hold on tight or to let this go
G#m7
How do I let this go?”
Aadd9 F#sus4
It was the first time I felt true cold
G#m7
E stone monument with heavy words
Aadd9 F#sus4
I felt the weight of every one I heard
[Chorus]
G#m7 Aadd9 B
I hope you know that you can call
G#m7
I’m here to talk things over
Aadd9 B
We can stay up till the morning
G#m7
Or at least till we’re both sober
Aadd9 B
The sorrow that you carry soon will end
G#m7
You’re nearly past it
Eadd9 Am B
I’ve been there before as well, I won’t take for granted
[Verse]
G#m7 Aadd9 F#sus4 G#m7 Aadd9 F#sus
It’s hard to accept and move on, search for better things, to rectify what was and what still remains
G#m7 Aadd9 F#sus4
I hope in that moment of desperation
G#m7 Aadd9 F#sus4
You found reconciliation
[Chorus]
G#m7 Aadd9 B
I just wish you would have called
G#m7
We could have talked this over
Aadd9 B
Waited till the morning
G#m7
Or at least till we were sober
Aadd9 B
The burden that you carried didn’t die
G#m7
You only passed it
Eadd9 Am B
The weight pulled me to my knees when I saw your casket
