intro: Am Dm G (x2)

Am            Dm                         G                         Am
   Is it this place that makes me fall from you         
Am                Dm              G                             Am
   Forget the words that once rang so true
Am            Dm         G                  Am
Did we expect that life was ever fair, my god
Am             Dm                       G                                     
I sowed a field of rose and reaped a whipping rod

F                                                G
And everything I've held too tight inside
Em
Could make a part of me die
F                                          G
And if my lips could only speak the name
Em
The dam would break

Am Dm G (x2)

Am            Dm         G                                          Am
  What is this ice that gathers round my heart
Am               Dm                      G                           Am
  To stop the flood of warmth before it even starts
Am                          Dm                   G                  Am
It would make me blind to what I thought would always be
Am            Dm         G                 
The only constant in the world for me

F                                         G       
And every hour of every day I need to
Em
fight from pulling away
F                                             G
And if my mind could only loose the chain
Em
The dam would break

Am                                  G        Em
For all the things I hid away
Am                                  G
And all the words I could not say
Em
The dam would break
