Capo 2

Intro: Am , C , G , G

         Am
You change in front of me
              C
your eyes get darker every day
             G
it happens quietly
G
your focus slowly burns away
                    F
and if you'd let me hear
                 G
the things you seem to wanna say
         Am
though I'm late
Am                                    
I will wait to go until i know you're somewhere safe
G                Am
and even if you chose
C                     G
to lock yourself away
             Am
if i listen close
C                       G
i can almost hear you say

Chorus
Am
once i was real
C
once I was somebody's child
F
once I could feel
G
Some feeling once in awhile
Am
Once I was here
C
Once i was somebody's friend
F
once I appear
G                   Am
I will be real once again

Am
You're falling into it
         C
An inescapable release
               G
Or something intimate
G
between the you that no one sees
            F
Is there a way inside
          G
You only hide from enemies
        Am
'cause I'll wait
                              
I'm afraid you won't get rid of me so easily
G               Am
and even if you chose
C                  G
to lock the world away
          Am
if i listen close
C                      G
i can almost hear you say

2nd Chorus
Am
once i was real
C
once I had something to lose
F
once I could peel
G
Once I was harder to bruise
Am
Once I was here
C
Once i was willing to bend
F
once I appear
G                   Am
I will be real once again

Solo:
Am , C , G , G

Am
You've fallen farther than
            C
I've ever seen you fall before
          G
For me to wonder when
G
I'll recognize you anymore
            F
To see no light inside your eyes at all
G
To bang my head against the wall
Am                                        G
And force myself to watch you pull away

                Am
and even if you chose
C                G
to laugh the world away
         Am
if i listen close
C                        G
i can almost hear you say

Chorus (repeat 2x):
Am
once i was real
C
once I was somebody's child
F
once I could feel
G
Some feeling once in awhile
Am
Once I was here
C
Once i was somebody's friend
F
once I appear
G                    Am
I will be real once again
