[Verse 1]
Em Bm
Try to start over
C G
a different life in a different state
Em Bm
Try to be normal
G B7
In so many shades of gray
Em Bm C G B7 Em
Try to imagine every possible mistake
Bm C Cm G
Finding the art in all the ways a heart can break
[Chorus]
C G
I'd let my glasses fall
B7 Em G
and see through blurry eyes, if we just
C G
watched the little houses softly
B7 E
glowing from inside
G C G
if I let myself become
B7 Em G
a silhouette against the cave wall
C Cm G G6 Gadd9 G
would you be my reflection across the sky
[Verse 2]
Em Bm C G B7 Em
In the marina where the hoarder used to live
Bm
there was an attachment,
C B7
I gave as much as I could give
Em Bm C G7
I was pathetic, but that's how you know it's real
Em Bm
I'd rather be pathetic
C Cm G
than let a coward take the wheel
[Chorus]
C G
And I'd let my glasses fall
B7 Em G
and see through blurry eyes, if we just
C G
watched the little houses softly
B7 E
glowing from inside
G C G
if I let myself become
B7 Em G
a silhouette against the cave wall
C Cm G G6 Gadd9 G
would you be my reflection across the sky

Early September, there was a cardboard scented tree
Bm C B7
hung from the rearview, just like you held on to me
Em Bm C B7
a girl at the party said you'd talk til you got bored
Em Bm C Cm G
I guess you're still talking, but no one listens anymore
[Chorus]
C G
And I'd let my glasses fall
B7 Em G
and see through blurry eyes, if we just
C G
watched the little houses softly
B7 E
glowing from inside
G C G
if I let myself become
B7 Em G
a silhouette against the cave wall
C Cm G G6 Gadd9 G
would you be my reflection across the sky
[Outro]
