Intro: A
 
D A
I was heartbroken
F#m E
When I met you the first time
D A
I didn't mean to
F#m E
To treat you wrong, to be unkind
D A
I was a stranger
F#m E
Waiting around for love to show its face
D A
I had it in me
F#m E
But it just kept falling so out of place
(A x2)
And then
 
D A
I was a liar
F#m E
I did it to myself for way too long
D A
Then I grew tired and I can't
F#m E
I can't keep the pace, it's doing me wrong, so I went
Bm
I went soul-searching,
A D E
I was cloud-hunting, my arms carried every stone
Bm
I climbed to the highest mountain,
A D E
So I could lay the burden where the shadows meet their bones
Bm D E
I'll go and drown on that wild sea on my own
Now will you hold on to the other side of the rope
And save me?
 
A
I've got something in here
Someone who cares
Is this something you want
Now do you want it?
Hidden under my hair
You were shaping your fingers
Like an old broken comb
Now do you want it?
I've got something in here
Now why would you care?
Is this something you want
Now do you want it?
Hidden under my hair
You were shaping your fingers
Like an old broken comb
Now do you want it?
Like an old broken comb
A
Now do you want it?
How many of you are hidden out there?
You've been watching us all along
Now did I see you waiting out there?
 
D A
I was heartbroken
F#m E
When I met you the first time
D A
I didn't mean to hurt you
F#m E
Yeah I was so lost and out of my mind, so I went
Bm
I went soul-searching,
A D E
I was cloud-hunting, my arms carried every stone
Bm
I climbed to the highest mountain,
A D E
So I could lay the burden where the shadows meet their bones
Bm
So I went,I went soul-searching,
A D E
I was cloud-hunting, my heart slipping through my hands
Bm
I climbed to the highest mountain,
A D E
So I could lay the burden where the shadows meet the man
Bm D E
I'll go and drown on that wild sea again
Now won't you at least try to understand
And save me, save me, save me?
