Verse 1:
Cm(hold)
  That's the sound of the
                         C5  Bb5 Eb5 Bb5 F5
last threads starting to fray
Cm(hold)
  If we don't watch out we'll
                          C5 Bb5 Eb5 Bb5 F5
fall down the rest of the way


Refrain:
Ab5
  If it continues on like
         Bb5
this then  there'll be
nothing left for us to fix

Eb5     Bb5 Eb5     Bb5      C5
  What we   both need is time
 G5      C5           Bb5  Eb5
apart before it gets any worse

We might  just find we're better
G5      C5           Bb5      C5  G5 Ab5 Bb5 C5 G5 Eb5 Bb5
off or learn how to make it work


Verse 2:
Cm(hold)
  As the flame makes it's 
                      C5  Bb5 Eb5 Bb5 F5
way to the end of the rope
Cm(hold)
  if we don't do something 
                       C5   Bb5 Eb5 Bb5 F5
soon than it's gonna explode


(Repeat Refrain)

Bridge:
Ab5       Bb5           C5
  Been together long enough
to know sometimes
   Ab5             Bb5
we need a little space once
     C5
in a while to breathe
      Ab5                 Bb5
And I know this time was bad
      Eb5         Bb5
but I think that we should
C5     Bb5     Ab5
take a couple days
                          Bb5
take a few steps back and think
before we throw it all away
