VERSE 1:
Dm                  Bb
Maybe we, why don't we
C
Sit right here for half an hour
Dm                            Bb
We'll speak of what a waste I am
    C
And how we missed your beat again

VERSE 2:
Dm                           Gm
I swear we need to find some comfort
        Bb       C
In this run down place
Dm                        Gm
To bridge the gap of this conscious state
        Bb
That we live in
        C
And I'm short on time

VERSE 3:
Bb
How come you try
     Gm
That brings us home
   C
To fit the shape of
    Bb
And I pray for

What they tell you
Gm
You to move on, move on
    C
But mostly what they show you

VERSE 4:
Dm
At this rate we can't keep up
Bb
I'm taking back all the things I've said
Bb                      Gm
I'm taking back all the things I've said
Dm                        Bb
But I sure can't just sit still
                              Gm        Dm
Keep me filled in and I swear I'll come

BRIDGE:
Dm
We walk alone
Dm
We walk alone
Dm
We walk alone
Dm
We walk alone
Dm
We walk alone
Dm
We walk alone
Dm
Back home
Dm
Alone, back home

VERSE 5:
Bb            Gm           Dm
You're almost gone and I'm okay
                 Bb
I still see your shadow
            Gm            Dm
To give you time to be afraid
               Bb     Gm
But never your face again
  Dm            Bb
I remember your presence

INSTRUMENTAL:
Gm Dm F
Bb Gm Dm F
Bb Gm Dm F

CODA:
Bb        Gm           Dm   F
I hope to God you come down
Bb        Gm                Dm  F
I hope to God you feel this now
Bb        Gm           Dm   F
I hope to God you come down
Bb
I hope to (God)
Dm
I know there must be some way out of here
Dm
And all of them will be waiting there
