Intro: G#
Cm
I'd sunk in oceans blue
A# G#
Now they're all frozen over
Cm
I should have took your hand
A# G#
We should have crossed the border
Cm A#
Because never again
G#
Means none of this at all
Cm A#
Forever pretend
G#
In our shelters we don't fall
Cm A# G#
Falling short again
Cm A# G#
I'm falling short again
Cm A# G#
The ranges set so high
Cm
And I could never climb
A# G#
Falling
Cm
It's so cold, I've come out
A#
Where's the all I have to show
G#
The knowledge that I've never known
G#
The garden that I failed to grow
Cm
Cause when the wreck is through and it's all consumed
A# G#
Maybe then baby, you'll tell me that we didn't cling to enough
G#
That we couldn't outlast the rough
Cm A# G#
Falling short again
Cm A# G#
I'm falling short again
Cm A# G#
The ranges set so high
Cm
And I could never climb
A# G#
Falling
G# Cm
On my own
A# G# Cm A#
I've been outgrown
G# Cm
On my own
A# G#
I've been outgrown
G# Cm
We've been outgrown
A# G# Cm
We've been outgrown
A# G# Cm
We've been outgrown
A# G# Cm
We've been outgrown
A# G#
We've been outgrown
