I watched the flames slow and strange
Cadd9 G
Make the walls fill my eyes?
Em
I heard your voice through the noise?
Cadd9 G
I was cold and it was warm inside?
 
D
And I should have kept my hands
Em
I should have kept my arms inside
Cadd9 G
?I believe it now
D
I should have kept my head
?Em
I should have kept my heart,
 
my heart

Shooting stars, falling leaves
Cadd9 G
?The more things change, the more I sleep
Em
I took her heart. I licked her wounds?
Cadd9 G
And when morning came, it felt like truth?
 
D
And I should have kept my hands
Em
I should have kept my arms inside
Cadd9 G?
I believe it now
D
I should have kept my head
?Em
I should have kept my heart,
 
my heart

I'm on my knees?
