Intro:
Cmaj7 Em G Cmaj7
Em G
[Verso 1]
Cmaj7
Time stamped and broken
Em G
Taken every other step in the shade
Cmaj7
And I'd raise my voice loud
Em
But you wouldn't hear it anyway
[Pré-Refrão]
Cmaj7
Maybe I'm the hopeless son
Em D
Waiting on the rain to come and wash me away
Cmaj7
Shattered by the only one
Em D Cmaj7
That could ever make a dead heart run, strung by lace
[Refrão]
Cmaj7 Em
Hung and framed, I'm so confused
D Cmaj7
When the only place left for me, it ain't next to you
Em
A world away, far from view
D
Nailed to your door, you'd still stare right through
[Pós-Refrão]
Cmaj7
My life as it passed by
Cmaj7
Steady as a wall when you walk by
Em D
Am I a stranger to you?
Cmaj7
And just like chalk on a state line
Cmaj7
Staring straight ahead as you drive by
Em
Am I a stranger to you?
Interlude:
D Cmaj7 Em D Cmaj7
[Verso 2]

Spun out and smoking
Em D
There's only myself to blame
Cmaj7
And I'm slowly loathing
Em D
There's gotta be another way
[Pré-Refrão]
Cmaj7
Maybe I'm the hopeless son

Waiting on the rain to come and wash me away

Darling, my life has passed by

Steady as a wall when you walk by

Staring straight ahead as you drive by
Em D C
Am I a stranger to you?
