[Verso 1]
D
It is so easy to see
D7M
Dysfunction between you and me
G7M
We must free up these tired souls
G
Before the sadness kills us both

I tried and tried to let you know

I love you but I'm letting go
G7M
It may not last but I don't know
G
Just don't know
[Pré-Refrão]
D
If you don't know, then you can't care

And I show up, but you're not there
G7M
But I'm waiting, and you want to
G
Still afraid that I will desert you
[Refrão]
D
Every day
D7M
With every worthless word we get more far away
G7M
The distance between us makes it so hard to stay
G
But nothing lasts forever, but be honest babe
D
It hurts but it may be the only way
[Verso 2]
D
A bed that's warm with memories
D7M
Can heal us temporarily

But misbehaving only makes

The ditch between us so damn deep

I built a wall around my heart
D7M
Never let it fall apart
G7M
Strangely, I wish secretly
G
It would fall down while I'm asleep

Though we have not hit the ground

Doesn't mean we're not still falling, oh

What a shame, I hope you find somewhere to place the blame
But until then the fact remains
