  Intro:      E       A      x 2 


 E                             A
 I can't sleep on through the night
 E                           A
 I don't know if we'll be alright
 E                     A
 I forget all that I know
     E                              A
 I think you're here but I'm on my own


           E
 Didn't I lose my way
              B
 Holding the lights
               C#m
 Hoping you'll come while they 
                   A
 Burn through the night
             E
 Didn't you see the fire
              B
 All that we lost
            C#m
 Didn't you hear me cry
               A
 Hands in the dust


 E                             A
 I drew a map to bring you to me
  E                                    A
 You shut your eyes and now you can't see
 E                             A
 I walked away but you didn't call
          E                    A
 What if you don't love me anymore?


           E
 Didn't I lose my way
              B
 Holding the lights
               C#m
 Hoping you'll come while they 
                   A
 Burn through the night
             E
 Didn't you see the fire
              B
 All that we lost
            C#m
 Didn't you hear me cry
               A
 Hands in the dust


 B                         C#m
 I know that I tried everything
     B                               A
 But we hurled the dust, ash on the wind
 E                              A
 I gave you up so you wouldn't say
  E                             A
 I'm not enough to get you to change


           E
 Didn't I lose my way
              B
 Holding the lights
               C#m
 Hoping you'll come while they 
                   A
 Burn through the night
             E
 Didn't you see the fire
              B
 All that we lost
            C#m
 Didn't you hear me cry
               A
 Hands in the dust

               E
 Watching the walls cave in
                       B
 And you're standing still
                C#m
 And everyone's turning in
                A
 Hands on the wheel
              E
 You had my what?
             B
 You had my heart
                   C#m        A
 And I don't wanna love you 
          E      A
 If you can't
