Tuning: standard



   F5                                 G#5       
It kills me not to know this but I've all but just forgotten
         C#5                             G#5               G#5
What the color of her eyes were and her scars or how she got them
       F5                               G#5
As the telling signs of age rain down a single tear is dropping
            C#5                            G#5             G#5
Through the valleys of an aging face that this world has forgotten

            F5                       G#5
there is no reconciliation that will put me in my place 
            C#5                       G#5                   G#5
there is no time like the present to drink these draining seconds 
    F5                                   G#5
but seldom do these words ring true when I'm constantly failing you 
C#5                                     G#5          G#5           
walls that we just can't break through until we disappear


           C#5
so tell me now 
              D#5
if this ain't love then how 
          C#5
do we get out? 
              D#5
cause I don't know 

                             F5
that's when she said I don't hate you boy 
               G#5     
I just want to save you 
                              C#5            G#5
while there's still something left to save
              G5
that's when I told her 
  F5
I love you girl 
                G#5                            
but I'm not the answer for 
                   C#5              G#5      G#5
the questions that you still have

        F5
and the day pressed on like crushing weights 
    G#5
for no man does it ever wait
     C#5
like memories of dying days 
     G#5              G#5
that deafen us like hurricanes 
F5
bathed in flames we held the brand 
  G#5
uncurled the fingers in your hand 
C#5
pressed into the flesh like sand 
    G#5          G#5
now do you understand?

           C#5
so tell me now 
              D#5
if this ain't love then how 
          C#5
do we get out? 
              D#5
cause I don't know 

                             F5
that's when she said I don't hate you boy 
               G#5     
I just want to save you 
                              C#5            G#5
while there's still something left to save
              G5
that's when I told her 
  F5
I love you girl 
                G#5

F5                 D#5
one thousand miles away 
                        C#5
there's nothing left to say 
                      D#5
but so much left that I don't know 
F5             D#5
we never had a choice 
                       C#5
this world is too much noise 
it takes me under 
D#5
it takes me under once again
