INTRO:
F#maj7 - B - F# - F# (x2)
VERSE 1:
F#maj7 B F# F#
I have tried but it's hard to fight it
F#maj7 B F# F#
I can't just watch as it falls apart
F#maj7 B F# F#
If we could break the mould, make it in from the cold
F#maj7 B F# F#
Lose your mind, never lose your heart
PRE-CHORUS 1:
Eb
I don't mind working hard for it

I'll bend the hands 'til the space appears

I'll move the pieces until we all fit

From near to far and from far to near
CHORUS 1:
Bsus2 F#
And I know that I'm going against the grain
Abm11 F#/Bb Bsus2
And I know this makes no sense
Bsus2 F# Abm11 F#/Bb Bsus2
The changes I've tried to make, they make no differ - ence
Bsus2 F# Eb
But I know that I'll try again, although it's so hard
F# Bsus2
Hard, hard
TRANSITION:
F#maj7 - B - F# - F# (x2)
VERSE 2:
F#maj7 B F# F#
Given time it'll finally focus
F#maj7 B F# F#
And in a moment that's been and gone
F#maj7 B F# F#
And in the afterglow, from my head to my soul
F#maj7 B F# F#
I can see all I have ignored
PRE-CHORUS 2:
Eb
And I don't mind working hard for it

I'll move the pieces until we all fit
F# Abm11 F#/Bb
From near to far and from far to near
CHORUS 2:
Bsus2 F#
And I know that I'm going against the grain
Abm11 F#/Bb Bsus2
And I know this makes no sense
Bsus2 F# Abm11 F#/Bb Bsus2
The changes I've tried to make, they make no differ - ence
Bsus2 F# Eb
But I know that I'll try again, although it's so hard

Hard, hard
TRANSITION:
F#maj7 - B - F# - F# (x2)
BRIDGE:
C#7/Ab F#add9
If life's so short then we're wasting time
C#/F F#add9
Love is the last thing on our minds
C#7/Ab F#add9 C#/F C#/F
It's so simple but so hard to see
C#sus4 Ebm7
And you are not alone in this
Bb B9
Sense of loss and loneliness
C#7/Ab F#add9 C#/F C#/F
Take your shoes off, run towards the sea
CHORUS 3:

And I know that I'm going against the grain
