[Verse 1]
C# B B F#
A doorway that's in between
C# B B F#
Wasn't me and it wasn't you

The airplane rewrote our histories

Of freeways left to go now
C# B B F#
Hysteric screams coming out of the window now
[Chorus 1]
C# B B F#
Blessed arms that hold us tight
C# B B
Freezing cold and alone
F# C# B
Skeleton left the closet for a little while

I slept all through the day, all through the night
C#
All through this year, all through this life

All through the day, all through the night

All through this year, all through this life
F# C# B B
Now cold arms pull the covers tight

And bad boring dreams all come true
F# C# B B
And it's all... long goodbyes

Wake up, pass out, fall down

Comb your hair

Take a long, long look in the mirror

You smiled when you lied about all of your feelings

I hope to god none of this comes true because

One eye is shut

And the other one is completely crushed

Death will come slowly for you

Slowly for you

All through this life
