Capo 2
Intro: Am Fmaj7 Am G Am Fmaj7 Am G Am
Fmaj7 Am G Am
In my heart there’s a hole and I will not stop till it’s full
Fmaj7 Am G Am
But at least as I pour sending us to the edge wanting more
F Am G Am
F Am G Am
On the road there’s a sign a thousand miles to escape this countryside
F Am G Am
And I’m left counting cars as they pass twice as fast like our time
C G Am Em
I really hope we’re going somewhere, better get there fast
F G
’cause we’re never gonna last
C G Am Em
’cause we’ve been spending countless hours thinking ’bout our past
F G Am C
how we’re never gonna, never gonna last, woah
Am
Fmaj7 Am G Am
and a large spot we knew that we still had our scars left to prove
Fmaj7 Am G Am
all dressed up in rags we discarded the last of our bags
C G Am Em
I really hope we’re going somewhere, better get there fast
F G
’cause we’re never gonna last
C G Am Em
’cause we’ve been spending countless hours thinking ’bout our past
F G Am C
how we’re never gonna, never gonna last, woah
C G Am G (2x)
C G Am G
and love is hanging by a single thread near the water’s edge
C G Am G
and I don’t think I can save it when it falls to the deep again (2x)
C G Am Em
I really hope we’re going somewhere, better get there fast
F G
’cause we’re never gonna last
C G C F Am G
We’ve been spending countless hours thinking ’bout our past, woah
F G Am
We’re never gonna, never gonna last (3x)
