E             C#m         A \
  Some things can't be bottled
E              C#m              A \
  See how it's draining out the bottom
E           C#m          A \
  Just like holding onto water
E              C#m       A \
  My eyes will only open for so long

E            C#m    A \
  So show me every..thing
E            C#m       A \
  I'm always aching to see
E          C#m           A \
  It's not pretty I know.   but still, this is
  E        C#m      A
  who I'll always   be

B!                C#!        A!       C#!           C#! B! A!
  I'm learning to trust you enough to take from you
  B!              E    /C#!   A!
  You can trust me too
E   /C#!             A!
     do do do duh-ya   eyy yahh

  E        C#m     A   notes(B C# D#)..

  lucky ones, the lucky ones know exactly what I mean
