VERSE 1:
D5                  Bb5
Maybe we, why don't we
C5
Sit right here for half an hour
D5                            Bb5
We'll speak of what a waste I am
    C5
And how we missed your beat again

VERSE 2:
D5                           G5
I swear we need to find some comfort
        Bb5       C5
In this run down place
D5                        G5
To bridge the gap of this conscious state
        Bb5
That we live in
        C5
And I'm short on time

VERSE 3:
Bb5
How come you try
     G5
That brings us home
   C5
To fit the shape of
    Bb5
And I pray for

What they tell you
G5
You to move on, move on
    C5
But mostly what they show you

VERSE 4:
D5
At this rate we can't keep up
Bb5
I'm taking back all the things I've said
Bb5                      G5
I'm taking back all the things I've said
D5                        Bb5
But I sure can't just sit still
                              G5        D5
Keep me filled in and I swear I'll come

BRIDGE:
D5
We walk alone
D5
We walk alone
D5
We walk alone
D5
We walk alone
D5
We walk alone
D5
We walk alone
D5
Back home
D5
Alone, back home

VERSE 5:
Bb5            G5           D5
You're almost gone and I'm okay
                 Bb5
I still see your shadow
            G5            D5
To give you time to be afraid
               Bb5     G5
But never your face again
  D5            Bb5
I remember your presence

INSTRUMENTAL:
G5 D5 F5
Bb5 G5 D5 F5
Bb5 G5 D5 F5

CODA:
Bb5        G5           D5   F5
I hope to God you come down
Bb5        G5                D5  F5
I hope to God you feel this now
Bb5        G5           D5   F5
I hope to God you come down
Bb5
I hope to (God)
D5
I know there must be some way out of here
D5
And all of them will be waiting there
