E          F#11          A9 B4
Now that I know what I?d hoped had to be in
E        F#11      A9        B4
mind was true and refused and just in time
      A9   B4
Do you wonder why?
E             F#11          A9     B4
It seems I let up with the dents of a near-collision.
E           F#11      A9       B4
 I couldn?t call and wrecked and turned up missing.

A9      B4
But until then
 A9             B4
I?m cutting to the end
   C#m          B4  A9
it?s cold in the light
             B4          C#m
the one we never seemed to find
             B4
I opened the door instead,

C#m B4  A9 B4 C#m " B4

    C#m         B4  A9
But you knew the lock
        B4            C#m
and the way I was looking
                B4
and still not a thing was said

E             F#11        A9       B4
I guess I can show that I thought I?d never
          E
have you long
       F#11          A9           B4
it?s a wall that you feel but you?re already slipping
   A9     B4
and away you slide
   A9     B4
can you take the ride
C#m        B4        A9
what did it mean when we stood
         B4            C#m
with our building slanted high
                B4
and we spoke of harder times
C#m        B4        A9
I pulled the rafters down
        B4            C#m
but the ghosts were only dropping
          B4
and honey since that night
