intro: A5 D5 G5 (x2)

A5            D5                         G5                         A5
   Is it this place that makes me fall from you       
A5                D5              G5                             A5
   Forget the words that once rang so true
A5            D5         G5                  A5
Did we expect that life was ever fair, my god
A5             D5                       G5                                     
I sowed a field of rose and reaped a whipping rod

F5                                                G5
And everything I've held too tight inside
E5
Could make a part of me die
F5                                          G5
And if my lips could only speak the name
E5
The dam would break

A5 D5 G5 (x2)

A5            D5         G5                                          A5
  What is this ice that gathers round my heart
A5               D5                      G5                           A5
  To stop the flood of warmth before it even starts
A5                          D5                   G5                  A5
It would make me blind to what I thought would always be
A5            D5         G5                 
The only constant in the world for me

F5                                         G5       
And every hour of every day I need to
E5
fight from pulling away
F5                                             G5
And if my mind could only loose the chain
E5
The dam would break

A5                                  G5        E5
For all the things I hid away
A5                                  G5
And all the words I could not say
E5
The dam would break
