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