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