Intro
G D Am
[Verso 1]
G D Am
Everybody's got a reason to come in from the rain
G D Am
You hope that you can break it all down then build it up just the same
G D Am
And it doesn't really matter if you never look both ways again
G D Am C
Cause it's cold enough to keep your head down so you can pretend
[Refrão]
G D Am
To take me back to the beginning before everything started to melt down
G D Am
And stand beside me while I wonder why I ever even bothered with this town
G D Am
I said, Hey lover I don't see any other way this will shake out
G D Am
And now I'm starting to wonder if everybody here is a ghost
C G D Am
Cause you're the one that scares me the most
[Verso 2]
G D Am
Everybody's just a heartbeat away from change
G D Am
And like a shiver of sharks there's a bonafide fear that remains
G D Am
But it doesn't really matter if you stumble and twist your words
G D Am C
Cause they're strong enough to keep it together, enough to preserve
[Refrão]
G D Am
To take me back to the beginning before everything started to melt down
G D Am
And stand beside me while I wonder why I ever even bothered with this town
G D Am
I said, Hey lover I don't see any other way this will shake out
G D Am
And now I'm starting to wonder if everybody here is a ghost
C G
Cause you're the one that scares me the most
[Ponte]
F C
I bet you never even started to wonder
Am G
When everything is sinking low
F Em
And I bet you wouldn't even knuckle under
C G
If everything had turned to stone
G D Am
G D Am
[Refrão]
G D Am
To take me back to the beginning before everything started to melt down
G D Am
And stand beside me while I wonder why I ever even bothered with this town
G D Am
I said, Hey lover I don't see any other way this will shake out
G D Am
And now I'm starting to wonder if everybody here is a ghost

Cause you're the one that scares me the most
