Verse:
          G
I saw the light dance on your face
          D
Paint the shadows of your shape
              C                       G  D
Back when the season made the days so long

         G
And if I knew my time would come
                 D
With the lines rehearsed but never sung
              C
I'd leave the chorus on your tongue
  G   D
I swear


Chorus:
                Em            C                 D
Now I look around to see the ground beneath my feet
             Em                C              D
Every second takes a thousand days away from me
                  E
And if i close my eyes
           C     G     D
I hear the gates swing wide
                   E
And by the morning light
            C    G    D
I will have seen both sides


Verse:
           G                  C              D
I've got a funny feeling that it's my day to leave
E                  C                     D
Shoulders down the sweat drips across my cheek
     G                    C                   D
As I turn I can taste the salt in the shallow sea
             Em              G       D
I feel their hearts beating next to me
           Em       G     D
I hear the chatter of my teeth


Chorus:
           Em                 C                 D
And I look around to see the ground beneath my feet
          Em                 C               D
The final thrill, the quiet spill, the vile retreat
               Em             C    G    D
Do you see the waves running away from me?
              Em                C   G D
You taste the cold here in the air i breathe
                 Em                   C   G  D
Why'd you let me go? 'Cause I can no longer see


Bridge:

And I scream
G
Oh my god
G
Oh my god
G
Oh my god
G
Oh my god
G
Oh my god
G
Oh my god


Chorus:
           Em                C                 D
Now I look around to see the ground beneath my feet
             Em               C              D
Every second takes a thousand days away from me
              Em
If I close my eyes
           C     G     D
I hear the gates swing wide
                   Em
And by the morning light
            C    G    D
I will have seen both sides
                    Em
So why'd you let me go?
         C   G  D
I can no longer see
            G
And I can't breathe
