Cadd9 A#m Cadd9
Time is running out as you die, die, die in this bed not making a sound.
A#m Fm G# D#m Fm G#
It has all come crashing down to be here, and watch you breathe your last.
D#m Cadd9 Fm
So helpless to stop you from slipping away so fast.
Cadd9
Oh, God, are you listening now?
A#m Cadd9
As this cancer dances through her, and then takes a bow.
A#m Fm G#
It won't disappoint the crowd,
D#m Fm
whose words are a curse,
G# D#m
as I hear them one-by-one.
Cadd9 Fm
Please pull the string, and I come undone.
A#m D#m Cadd9 Fm A#m
I know this. I failed to say. I'm sinking by your side.
D#m Cadd9 Fm A#m
You're worth this. I wouldn't trade a day to not have gone through this
D#m Cadd9
So many days I've been blind.
Fm A#m
I want to stop and rewind.
D#m G# Cadd9
Kick off our shoes and dance with the ghost of you.
A#m Cadd9
Who could tease me and leave me begging for the abuse?
A#m Fm G# D#m Fm G#
You're the only one I knew that could tame me, and make me who I am.
D#m Cadd9 Fm
But now, there's self-blaming and there's nothing left of all my plans.
A#m D#m Cadd9 Fm A#m
I know this. I failed to say. I'm sinking by your side.
D#m Cadd9 Fm A#m
You're worth this. I wouldn't trade a day to not have gone through this
D#m Cadd9
So many days I've been blind.
Fm A#m
I want to stop and rewind.
D#m G#
Kick off our shoes and dance...
G#
Let's dance again.
G#
We'll turn up our sleeves.
Cadd9 A#m
I know just where to begin.
G# Cadd9
Dance, let's dance again.
D#m Fm G# A#m D#m Fm G# A#m
We could find ourselves before this happens...
A#m Cadd9
These words of mine are trite and so cliche.
A#m Cadd9
Still we find a place in everything.
A#m Cadd9 Fm G#
It's just to break the silence that has been crushing me.
A#m Cadd9
Half of me is dead, already gone.
A#m Cadd9
Half is screaming everyone is wrong.
A#m Cadd9 Fm Cadd9
Finally asking now, will you just hear me out?
D#m A#m
This was all my fault.
Cadd9 D#m G# Fm
You brought me death, and it's everything I wanted.
A#m D#m G#
It's the wrong side of fear that kept me out.
