[Verse]
Cmaj7 Fmaj7
We kept the distance
Cmaj7 Fmaj7
Kept it at no one's insistance
Cmaj7 Fmaj7
Pushed against no resistance
Cmaj7 Fmaj7
But ourselves
[Verse]
Cmaj7 Fmaj7
It's not complicated
Cmaj7 Fmaj7
Lovers get humiliated
Cmaj7 Fmaj7
I wanted you but couldn't say it
Cmaj7 Fmaj7
Out loud
[Pre-Chorus]
Cmaj7 Fmaj7
Ooh oh ooooh
Cmaj7 Fmaj7
Oooooh
Cmaj7 Fmaj7
Ooh
[Verse]
Cmaj7 Fmaj7
There's a hole in my memory
Cmaj7 Fmaj7
It's widening with each new entry
Cmaj7 Fmaj7
Blooming like a flower
Cmaj7 Fmaj7
Then everything falls through
[Verse]
Cmaj7 Fmaj7
Each death and redemption
Cmaj7 Fmaj7
Each second of increasing tension
Cmaj7 Fmaj7
In every ounce of pure prevention
Cmaj7 Fmaj7
We held to
[Pre-Chorus]
Cmaj7 Fmaj7
Ooh oh ooooh
Cmaj7 Fmaj7
Oooooh
Cmaj7 Fmaj7
Ooh
[Chorus]

It caught, torn in the fabric
Dm F
Enthralled, drawn like a magnet
Dm F
But we keep, keep the distance
C A# Dm
Just in attempt to get by, get by, get by
C A# Dm
Get by, get by, get by
C A# Dm
Get by, get by, get by

Get by

Get by

Get by

[Verse]
Cmaj7 Fmaj7
It's cool to miss you
Cmaj7 Fmaj7
It would be cooler still to kiss you
Cmaj7 Fmaj7
If you heading out then I insist you
Cmaj7 Fmaj7
Make a move
[Verse]
Cmaj7 Fmaj7
But if it's not the moment
Cmaj7 Fmaj7
But bottle up the breath I'm holding
Cmaj7 Fmaj7
Sorry to my seratonin
Cmaj7 Fmaj7
Some bad news
[Pre-Chorus]
Cmaj7 Fmaj7
Ooh oh ooooh (Aah)
Cmaj7 Fmaj7
Oooooh
Cmaj7 Fmaj7
Ooh
[Chorus]
Dm F
It caught, torn in the fabric
Dm F
Enthralled, drawn like a magnet
Dm F
But we keep, keep the distance
C A# Dm
Just in attempt to get by, get by, get by
C A# Dm
Get by, get by, get by
C A# Dm
Get by, get by, get by
