Em G
It kills me not to know this but I've all but just forgotten
C
What the color of her eyes were
G D
And her scars or how she got them

As the telling signs of age rain down a single tear is dropping
C G D
Through the valleys of an aging face that this world has forgotten
( Em G C G D )
Em G
There is no reconciliation that will put me in my place
C G D
And there is no time like the present to drink these draining seconds
Em G
But seldom do these words ring true when I'm constantly failing you
C G D
Like walls that we just can't break through until we disappear
C
So tell me now

If this ain't love then how do we get out?

( Em G C G D )
Em
But the day pressed on like crushing weights
G
For no man does it ever wait
C
Like memories of dying days
G D
That deafen us like hurricanes
Em
Bathed in flames we held the brand
G
Uncurled the fingers in your hand
C
Pressed into the flesh like sand
G D
Now do you understand?
C
So tell me now

If this ain't love then how do we get out?

Em G
1000 Miles away
C
There's nothing left to say
G D
But so much left that I don't know

We never had a choice

This world is too much noise
G
It takes me under
D Em
It takes me under once again
( Em D )
