[Verso 1]
D/F# A/E F#m Bm/F# F#m G/D A/E
Christ on the cross, no more room, just slide off
D/F# A/E F#m Bm/F# F#m G/D A/E
Meet on the wire, no more lines, can't climb higher
G A
So from your new plateau you writhe and wait
G
For something real to shake your bones
A
To turn you back into a person

[Verso 2]
D A F#m Bm F#m G A A4 A
You sublet the space, cut your costs, flipped off fate
D A F#m Bm F#m G A A4 A
And watched while she packed, cried and cried but no come back
G A
You figured you could sit around and wait
G
For love this real to just pop up
A
To fall from trees, to ride on rainstorms
[Refrão]
G D
Convinced it was worth it
G Bm A G
You swore it was worth it, yeah, he-hey
D A A4 A
You said it was worth it through the first hit
Em D Bm A
But back amongst the dirt and spent grass
Em D A
The empty coffee cups, the green glass
Em D Bm A
The basement brokering and side bets
Em D A
The puzzle pieces in the tool shed
G D
I think you can build it
G Bm A G
I think you can build it, yeah, he-hey
D A A7
I know you can build it cause I built it, yeah, he-hey
[Refrão]
G D
Convinced it was worth it
G Bm A G
You swore it was worth it, yeah, he-hey
D A A4 A
You said it was worth it through the first hit
G D
Back before you moved so fast
G Bm A
And traced your veins with splintered glass
G D A
Your lazy eyes aligned to find a purpose, a purpose
Solo
