D5           C5           Bb5           C5
I was in a fog I didn't notice everything
    D5            C5             Bb5  C5
Was coming all apart inside of me
      D5          C5         Bb5            C5
There wasn't anyway for anyone to settle in
    D5             C5             Bb5   C5
You made a slow disaster out of me

D5            C5        Bb5           C5
    There's a radiant darkness upon us
D5          C5              Bb5    C5
    I don't want you to worry
D5        C5           Bb5             C5
    I was careful but nothing is harmless
D5        C5             Bb5     C5
    Baby, you better hurry

C5            G5            Bb5          F5
You were a kindness when I  was a stranger
    C5            G5           Bb5         F5
But I wouldn't ask for what I  didn't need
C5               G5            Bb5          F5
Everything's weird and we're always in danger
C5               G5         Bb5        F5
Why would you shatter somebody like me?

C5   G5             Bb5       F5
    It doesn't work that way
C5          G5        Bb5           F5        C5
   Wanting not to want you won't make it so
    G5             Bb5       F5 
    It doesn't work that way
C5   G5                Bb5     F5
    Don't leave me here  alone

     D5          C5          Bb5          C5
I'll do what I can to be a confident wreck
      D5            C5            Bb5  C5
Can't feel this way forever, I mean
      D5         C5          Bb5            C5
There wasn't anyway for anyone to settle in
    D5             C5             Bb5 C5
You made a slow disaster out of me

D5            C5        Bb5           C5
    There's a radiant darkness upon us
D5          C5              Bb5    C5
