verse 1
A Bm F#m
First light, new skin, bring amber dawn
Like a warning
A Bm F#m
Close my eyes so I won't see what I've done
Wrong
A Bm F#m
Turn away, turn away when you need me more,
More
A Bm F#m
Regrets creep in, what have I done?
Oh, But you were leaving
Pre-Chorus
D C#m Bm
You were always, you were always leaving
D C#m
Now I'm gone, you come back
Bm
Come back to me believing
[Refrão]D C#m
So why'd you say nothing at all?
Bm
You leave me to figure out what went wrong
D C#m
Going on and on about nothing at all
Bm
Turn away, turn away when I need you more
verse 2
A Bm F#m
Do you know how many times I've been you?
Been you?
A Bm F#m
To someone who cares half as much as I do
And I do
A Bm F#m
Turn away, turn away, turn away when I need to
I needed to
A Bm F#m
Take one wrong step for I'm back to you
But all at once it comes back to me
Pre-Chorus
D C#m Bm
You were always, you were always leaving
D C#m
Now I'm gone, you come back
Bm
Come back to me believing
[Refrão]D C#m
So why'd you say nothing at all?
Bm
You leave me to figure out what went wrong
D C#m
Going on and on about nothing at all
Bm
Turn away, turn away when I need you more
Outro
D C#m Bm
And honestly, if we're going off
We work through this just to write a song
D C#m Bm
Going on and on about nothing at all
Turn away, turn away when I need you more
D C#m Bm
So honestly, if there's nothing wrong
We worked it out just to write a song
D C#m Bm
Going on and on about nothing at all
N.C
You turn away, turn away when I need you more
