Verse 1
C#m                    Eb   E  
    She has no problem with secrets
          Abm   A
She knows how to keep them 
        E    F#m                          B  C#m
She never felt the need to let them show 
                        Eb    E
And I've had no trouble with speaking 
        Abm    A
Or trusting my instincts 
        E       F#m                       B  C#m 
That maybe this is one that I should know
               Eb    
But as I'm waiting there
    E               Abm   
The devil on my shoulder stares 
A                     E            F#m
Laughing that the one thing I can't get 
          B   
Is what I need 

Chorus
C#m  Abm        A                  E 
She, she is the words that I can't find
            Abm               A               E          B
How can the only thing that's killing me make me feel so alive 
                C#m     Abm
And I couldn't speak
           A                       E
I couldn't breathe to save my life 
          Abm                   A
All of my chances swim like sinking ships
E
This time it's it
      B 
I'll drown or make her mine 

Verse 2 (same as Verse 1)
C#m                       Eb      E  
    My vocal chords have been fighting
          Abm      A
My mouth likes to spite me 
         E        F#m                    B  C#m
It never says the words that come to mind 
                  Eb   E
I brought a stick to a gun fight
              Abm     A
And I'm stuck with my tongue tied 
     E          F#m               B     C#m 
I run but I can't hide what's always there is

Chorus
C#m  Abm        A                  E 
She, she is the words that I can't find
            Abm               A               E          B
How can the only thing that's killing me make me feel so alive 
                C#m     Abm
And I couldn't speak
           A                       E
I couldn't breathe to save my life 
          Abm                   A
All of my chances swim like sinking ships
E
This time it's it
      B 
I'll drown or make her mine 

Bridge
I can see these things I'd do 
But never seem to follow through 
She, She is the words that I can't find 
How can the only thing that's killing me make me feel so alive 

Chorus
(quiet finger picking)
C#m  Abm        A                  E 
She, she is the words that I can't find
            Abm               A               E          B
How can the only thing that's killing me make me feel so alive 
    (crash in heavy)C#m     Abm
And I couldn't speak
           A                       E
I couldn't breathe to save my life 
          Abm                   A
All of my chances swim like sinking ships
E
This time it's it
      B 
I'll drown or make her mine
C#m Abm A E Abm A E B
(Some whoa's and background vocals)  
                 C#m     Abm
And I couldn't speak
           A                       E
I couldn't breathe to save my life 
          Abm                   A
All of my chances swim like sinking ships
E
This time it's it
      B                   C#m
I'll drown or make her mine
