Intro: Am -- F -- x5


Verse 1:
           Am
Splintered piece of 
                   F
glass falls in the seat
and gets caught these 
Am
broken windows open 
        F
locks reminders of the 
                 Am
youth we lost in trying 
                 F
so hard to look away from
       Am
you we followed white lines 
into the sunset i 
F
crash my car 
everyday the same way


Chorus:
Am
time to let this 
F
pass (the time it takes the 
               Am
time to let go) time 
runs through our 
     F
veins (it starts and stops and 
                        Am
starts and stops again) we
don't stand a chance 
                  F
in this threadbare time 
(to take time to break 
the cycle) 
  Am
way time to let this 
F
pass (the time it takes the 
time to let go)


Verse 2:
 Am
staring at the 
F              Dm
setting sun no reason 
to come back again 
    Am                F
the twilight world in blue 
              Dm
and white the needle and the damage 
             Am      F
done i don't want to feel this way 
   Dm          Am     F
forever a dead letter marked 
         Dm         Am
returnto sender the broken watch you 
                F
gave me turns into a compassit's 
Am
two hands still point to the 
          F                  Am
same time 12:03 our last goodbye 
so push back the seats a little 
       F Am
further    i can see 
                     F
the headlights coming
Am
  so push back the 
seats a little 
       F
further 
roll the windows
down and take a 
breathing 
Am
  i can see 
the headlights coming
F
  they paint the world 
in red and broken glass 


(Repeat Chorus)


Verse 3:
 Am
staring at the 
F              Dm
setting sun no reason 
to come back again 
    Am                F
the twilight world in blue 
              Dm
and white the needle and the damage 
             Am      F
done i don't want to feel this way 
   Dm          Am     F
forever a dead letter marked 
          Dm
return to sender
     Am
the spinning hubcaps 
F                     Dm
set the tempo for the music 
of a broken window when the 
Am                     F
cameras are on and the cameras click 
   Dm
we open up the lens to 
broken glass

F              Dm
setting sun no reason 
to come back again 
    Am                F
the twilight world in blue 
              Dm
and white the needle and the damage 
             Am      F
done i don't want to feel this way 
   Dm

Am                     F
cameras are on and the cameras click 
   Dm
we open up the lens to 
broken glass
