2nd traste
[Verse]
G D/F# Em Cadd9
Sadness always finds An In
G D/F# Em Cadd9
Sneaks its way past and infecting everything
G D/F# Em Cadd9
And every chapter has an end
G D/F# Em Cadd9
But this is one momentous sequel don’t you think
[Hook]
Em D/F#
And the black birds, they fly
G Cadd9
Like a frown on the skyline
[Chorus]
Cadd9 G D
Right now I feel I’m
Em D/F# Cadd9
Running from the light
G D
Engulfed in darkness
Em D/F# Cadd9
Shielded from my eyes
G D Em D/F# Cadd9
One foot in, one out I’m stuck on the borderline
G D
Which way will I
[Interlude]
Cadd9
[Verse]
G D/F# Em Cadd9
Guess I should take this on the chin
G D/F# Em Cadd9
But I don't even know how all of this began
G D/F# Em Cadd9
And we are made to mould and bend
G D/F# Em Cadd9
How can I wish for nothing when it's still a sin
[Chorus]
Cadd9 G D
Right now I feel I’m
Em D/F# Cadd9
Running from the light
G D
Engulfed in darkness
Em D/F# Cadd9
Shielded from my eyes
G D Em D/F# Cadd9
One foot in, one out I’m stuck on the borderline
G D
Which way will I
Cadd9 G D
Tears never arive
Em D/F# Cadd9
These ducts are dry
G D
We are so blind
[Bridge]
Em D/F# G
Waiting on the borderline
Em D/F# G
Waiting on the borderline
G D/F# Em Cadd9
So I will pour another drink
G D/F#
And try to drown the pain
Em Cadd9
With salt along the rim
G D/F# Em Cadd9
And I’ll shut off the things I think
G D/F# Em Cadd9
'Cause nothing good will ever come from worrying
[Chorus]
Cadd9 G D
Right now I feel I’m
Em D/F# Cadd9
Running from the light
G D
Engulfed in darkness
Em D/F# Cadd9
Shielded from my eyes
G D Em D/F# Cadd9
One foot in, one out I’m stuck on the borderline
G D
Which way will I
Cadd9 G D
Tears never arive
Em D/F# Cadd9
These ducts are dry
G D
We are so blind
