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