Intro:
Gm Dm Eb (x2)
[Verso 1]
Gm Dm F
Can I hold your love between my ribs
Eb Dm F
While you weigh me down to something thin?
Gm Dm F
When I get back up, feeble and frail
Eb Dm F
Then I won't see you as the same again
N.C.
You were oh so quiet when I needed you
N.C.
Was clamoring for something true
[Refrão]
Gm Dm Eb
Now I, if I close my eyes, I can feel you
Gm Dm Eb F
Vanish into blinding light to what I can't recognize
Gm Dm Eb
Now I splinter and divide, but go on breathing
Gm Dm Eb Cm
Leave me to my own device, time was all I'd need to see it
[Verso 2]
Gm Dm F
Before I quit, I got to vent
Eb Dm F
But the sorrow draws lines across my chest
Gm Dm
Ooh, pale in my lips,
F
My chin's so high, it broke my neck
Eb Dm F
And I can nver see you as the same again
N.C.
I ignor the chatter of my mind, I sink into the scene to hide
N.C.
All the color is a mess, is there a means? Is there an end to this?
[Refrão]
Gm Dm Eb
Oh, I, if I close my eyes, I can feel you
Gm Dm Eb F
Vanish into blinding light to what I can't recognize
Gm Dm Eb
Now I splinter and divide, but go on breathing
Gm Dm Eb Cm
Leave me to my own device, time was all I'd need to see it
[Ponte]
Eb Gm
You drift further by the day
Eb F
You took a twist of a memory that we made
Eb Cm Dm Gm
Ribbed with loneliness and shame
Eb Cm Dm F
All to my own dismay
[Refrão]
N.C.
I, if I close my eyes, I can feel you
Gm Dm Eb F
Vanish into blinding light to what I can't recognize
Gm Dm Eb
Now I splinter and divide, but go on breathing
Gm Dm Eb Cm
Leave me to my own device, time was all I'd need to see it

F
