Verse
E
I called you today
C#m
Wanting a change
B
I never meant to hurt anyone
B
Never meant for you to pull out your guns
E
But feelings won't stay
C#m
In this meager parade
B
You're beating to a different drum
B
In this lack of all the luster we've become
E
Save your breath
C#m
You know we've both
E
Tried our best
F#
But it's leaving
B
This might as well be done
A
I'm falling with the sun
E C#m
When the hours getting sour won't save with time
B
And I'm waving off the one
A
Who wouldn't let me run
E C#m F#
Though we tried, it's a lie I can't keep dragging on
E
I'm untying this sinking stone...
E
Don't sit on the fence
C#m
Living past tense
B
Holding on to wishes and words
B
Folding out a picture we blur
E
Cause here in the end
C#m
I'm losing a friend
B
Fighting back a tear when it burns
B
Dividing up the pieces that we were
E
Save your breath
C#m
You know we've both
E
Tried our best
F#
But it's leaving
B
This might as well be done
A
I'm falling with the sun
E C#m
When the hours getting sour won't save with time
B
I'm waving off the one
A
Who wouldn't let me run
E C#m F#
Though we tried, it's a lie I can't keep dragging on
E
I'm untying this sinking stone...
E
I can't say you're all alone
C#m
I'm accepting what I own
B A
Here lies a blanket not a bandage
E
I'm unable to restrain
C#m
When the wake that we became
E
Is drawing me under
B
This might as well be done
A
I'm falling with the sun
E C#m
When the hours getting sour won't save with time
B
I'm waving off the one
A
Who wouldn't let me run
E C#m F#
Though we tried, it's a lie I can't keep dragging on
B
This might as well be done
A
I'm falling with the sun
E C#m
When the hours getting sour won't save with time
B
I'm waving off the one
A
Who wouldn't let me run
E C#m F#
Though we tried, it's a lie I can't keep dragging on
I'm untying this sinking stone...
