See,
Fmaj7
this wasn't supposed
Ebmaj7 C#maj7
to happen to leave you
Ebmaj7 C/F
with your thoughts, to leave you
F#maj7 Bbmaj7
at your wire where you bumped
C#maj7
into more.
Fmaj7
You're clinging to
Ebmaj7 C#maj7
tales of ghosts, hear them as if

they're true. Although they bring

you things that you don't want
C#maj7
them to.

Ebmaj7 C#maj7
of time, well, you freak out
Ebmaj7 C/F
your mind to go care for all

the small things I have no
C#maj7
clue about.
Fmaj7
I have the miles
Ebmaj7 C#maj7
to shout at, but both your ears
Ebmaj7 C/F
go cold and leave me at
F#maj7 Bbmaj7
my wire. Wish that I

was told

to happen to not have you on
Ebmaj7 C/F
my side, to lose you on
F#maj7 Bbmaj7
a wire where you stay
C#maj7
out of sight.
Fmaj7
And with your head
Ebmaj7 C#maj7
in your hands I cannot read
Ebmaj7 C/F
your face, can't read between
F#maj7 Bbmaj7
the lines that this is a
C#maj7
shut case
Break: (4x)!
