Capo 6
F
Everyone sees, but only I know
C G/D
Nothing to lose, nothing to save to make a whole
F
What if I should make a loss?
C G/D
Hold up both my hands, my fingers crossed
F
I don't sleep well, laying low
C G/D
Never keepin' up, never lettin' go
F
What if I should look away?
C G/D
Every human touch will be repayed
F
Without restraint
G
Within our veins
Am
We bide our time, stay afloat
Keepin' the sun up off our bones
G
I never asked to know, never planned
Till it was swept out of my hand
Am
We bide our time, stay afloat
Keepin' the dying light exposed
G
I never asked to know, never lied
So I could keep you on my side
F
We feel the same
G
Without restraint
F
We feel the same
G
Within our veins
F
Everyone comes, but only I stay
C G/D
Nowhere to look, nowhere to turn to fall away
F
What if I should call it off?
C G/D
Hold up my demands with my heart uncrossed
F
I don't sleep well, laying low
C G/D
Never keepin' up, never lettin' go
F
What if I should let it fade
C G/D
Every human touch will be repayed
F
Without restraint

Within our veins

We bide our time, stay afloat
Keepin' the sun up off our bones
