Verse
D D C G
This town ain't big enough for both of us
D C G
So don't sleep on the things that my hands have done
D C G
The flora and the fire keep lighting up the distance
D C G
Careful with your mouth don't let it run
G A Bm
Out of sight, out of mind
A#aug G
Dug my heels into the earth
A Bm A#aug
It was safe, it was mine, but this is where the way turns
[Chorus 1]
D C G
Take it while you get it, toss this and forget it
D C G
As you swallow your seat and son
D C
You're plagued with pride of fathers
G
Long since dead behind you
D C G
Careful with your feet don't let them run
[Verse 2]
G A Bm
You can camouflage, you can lock up, and you can stow away
A#aug
But it is to question one's self in a hideout to leave the cover
G
The cursed will stay away
A Bm
And in my hard heart I tried to block out and to blot out and obstruct the clouds
A#aug
But the shroud, the bell, the blanket and the envelope will eclipse them now
[Pre-Chorus 1]
G A
Standing where the water meets the shore you feel the sun
Bm A#aug
Touch your face and leave its mark with nowhere left to run
G A
To hide your shaking hands and words that swore this was the day
Bm A#aug
You never feel as weak as when the answers go away
[Chorus 2]
G A
I was caught in the current; it's a lesson, and I've learned it
Bm A#aug
The teacher left scars on our fists
(I'm the worst, I'm the worst, just please leave me here)
G A
There's pain we never speak of, second guess the ones that we love
Bm A#aug
And the last thing you want is for your last words to sound so scared
Bm F#m Bm F#m Bm F#m
But you find yourself here, alone and scared
Bm F#m Bm F#m Bm F#m Bm F#m Bm F#m
Will they leave You here, Will You leave me here?
[Bridge]
D
The best part of that
A
Is I want it back
G
The best things to say, I want to say
D A G
That all this time I was wrong
D
The water's deep
A
As they find their sleep
G
And I begged for less
But I second guessed
D A
That you would come
G
After me
[Outro]
(The past still waits)
D/F# Em A Bm F#m D Em
It's the pain we ne-ver speak of
(To catch my eye)
D/F# Em A Bm F#m D Em
Se - cond guess the ones that we love
(And I never stopped)
D/F# Em A Bm F#m D Em
All the words and our con-fessions
(To question)
D/F# Em A Bm F#m D Em
I ne- ver thought that I should question
Bm F#m
To question why
Bm F#m (x3)
D/F# Em A Bm F#m D Dm
