E5          F#5          A5 B5
Now that I know what I?d hoped had to be in
E5        F#5      A5        B5
mind was true and refused and just in time
      A5   B5
Do you wonder why?
E5             F#5          A5     B5
It seems I let up with the dents of a near-collision.
E5           F#5      A5       B5
 I couldn?t call and wrecked and turned up missing.

A5      B5
But until then
 A5             B5
I?m cutting to the end
   C#5          B5  A5
it?s cold in the light
             B5          C#5
the one we never seemed to find
             B5
I opened the door instead,

C#5 B5  A5 B5 C#5 " B5

    C#5         B5  A5
But you knew the lock
        B5            C#5
and the way I was looking
                B5
and still not a thing was said

E5             F#5        A5       B5
I guess I can show that I thought I?d never
          E5
have you long
       F#5          A5           B5
it?s a wall that you feel but you?re already slipping
   A5     B5
and away you slide
   A5     B5
can you take the ride
C#5        B5        A5
what did it mean when we stood
         B5            C#5
with our building slanted high
                B5
and we spoke of harder times
C#5        B5        A5
I pulled the rafters down
        B5            C#5
but the ghosts were only dropping
          B5
and honey since that night

E5  F#5 A5 B5
