C#m

lights out put my seat

E

there’s no such thing

don’t bother to explain

Chorus:

C#m

we trust and believe so easily

A

and words they speak we

B

seek security in one another

E G#

but there’s no way to cover this

C#m

and these tragic nights

A

and afternoons weak disaster

and I can still feel you

B

as if you were in the room

where does our story

G#

end? where does it start?

I buried you along with my heart

Verse 2:

my tolerance

but I promise you'll

feel everything
