Intro:      E (022100@1)     A (x02220@1)    x 2

E (022100@1)                           A (x02220@1)I can't sleep on through the night
 E (022100@1)                         A (x02220@1)I don't know if we'll be alright
 E (022100@1)                   A (x02220@1)I forget all that I know
     E (022100@1)                            A (x02220@1)I think you're here but I'm on my own

E (022100@1)Didn't I lose my way
              B (x2444x@1)Holding the lights
               C#m (x13321@4)Hoping you'll come while they 
                   A (x02220@1)Burn through the night
             E (022100@1)Didn't you see the fire
              B (x2444x@1)All that we lost
            C#m (x13321@4)Didn't you hear me cry
               A (x02220@1)Hands in the dust

E (022100@1)                           A (x02220@1)I drew a map to bring you to me
  E (022100@1)                                  A (x02220@1)You shut your eyes and now you can't see
 E (022100@1)                           A (x02220@1)I walked away but you didn't call
          E (022100@1)                  A (x02220@1)What if you don't love me anymore?

E (022100@1)Didn't I lose my way
              B (x2444x@1)Holding the lights
               C#m (x13321@4)Hoping you'll come while they 
                   A (x02220@1)Burn through the night
             E (022100@1)Didn't you see the fire
              B (x2444x@1)All that we lost
            C#m (x13321@4)Didn't you hear me cry
               A (x02220@1)Hands in the dust

B (x2444x@1)                       C#m (x13321@4)I know that I tried everything
     B (x2444x@1)                             A (x02220@1)But we hurled the dust, ash on the wind
 E (022100@1)                            A (x02220@1)I gave you up so you wouldn't say
  E (022100@1)                           A (x02220@1)I'm not enough to get you to change

E (022100@1)Didn't I lose my way
              B (x2444x@1)Holding the lights
               C#m (x13321@4)Hoping you'll come while they

             E (022100@1)Didn't you see the fire
              B (x2444x@1)All that we lost
            C#m (x13321@4)Didn't you hear me cry
               A (x02220@1)Hands in the dust

E (022100@1)Watching the walls cave in
                       B (x2444x@1)And you're standing still
                C#m (x13321@4)And everyone's turning in
                A (x02220@1)Hands on the wheel
              E (022100@1)You had my what?
             B (x2444x@1)You had my heart
                   C#m (x13321@4)      A (x02220@1)And I don't wanna love you 
          E (022100@1)    A (x02220@1)If you can't
