Verse 1:
D5                D5
  I dont care to know
                G5
The time on the wall
                 G5
The placement of my
                  D5
shoes on the wood floor
                  C5
The last boat has left
                G5
Cant carry you afloat
                     G5
I fear the empty wet bed
               D5
The empty grey coat
             C5
And i wont go till you're 
      G5
asleep You open your mouth
                 G5
Like an asthma attack you repeat

     C5         G5

  D5
I wanted to kiss 
you goodnight
          B5
No longer can pretend
   A5
It wont cave in and 
D5         A5
will be alright
  D5
I wanted to save 
this last light
                B5
With dawn comes certainty 
   A5
of what we'll be
    D5           G5
For now hold me lightly
     A5           B5    G5
(For now hold me light)


Verse 2:
D5               C5
  I look to the floor
Your hair like cut 
G5
grass Your vomit
   G5
It forms a gold 
                 D5
chain round your neck
                C5
I wont make you up
                 G5
No need for last words
                G5
These last idle hours
              D5
More than i desereve


Refrain 2:
     C5              G5
"you take from this is oh
D5            C5         G5
courage than i've no regrets"

I wanted to kiss 
you goodnight
          B5
No longer can pretend
   A5
It wont cave in and 
D5         A5
will be alright
  D5
I wanted to save 
this last light
                B5
With dawn comes certainty 
   A5
of what we'll be
    D5           G5
For now hold me lightly


Bridge:
     D5
Dont settle for less again
F5
You've become more
       C5
Than i could have become for 
    G5
you Could have inspired to be
D5                    F5
Hesitation will leave dents 
                     C5
on the walls and the rail
And your scent will leave 
G5                      D5  F5 C5 G5 x2
me with more faith in myself
