Am
[Verse 1]
Am
Let me know if you're listenin'
Fmaj7 G Am
I'm just looking for a sign
Am
You keep building the distance
Fmaj7 G Am
That divides your heart and mind
[Verse 2]
Am
Let me know you can hear me
Fmaj7 G Am
Let me see your light again
Am
I keep chasing your shadow
Fmaj7 G Fmaj7
In this maze you're lost within
[Pre-Chorus]
Fmaj7 G
Please don't go where I can't follow
[Chorus]
Am F
If I can keep you from falling to pieces
C G
Then I'd be saving myself in the process
Am F
And we'll collapse every word 'til we're speechless
C G Am
Because you'll soon find that words are worthless now
Fmaj7 Am Fmaj7
(They're worthless now)
[Verse 3]
(Choppy)
Am
You're twisting through the traces of my sanity
Fmaj7 G
The corners start to fade and I'm falling behind
Am
I can't pull you back to reality
Fmaj7 G
As the echoes reveal what you're hiding inside
Fmaj7 G
Please don't go where I can't follow
[Chorus]
Am F
If I can keep you from falling to pieces
C G
Then I'd be saving myself in the process

And we'll collapse every word 'til we're speechless

Because you'll soon find that words are worthless now
Fmaj7 Am Fmaj7
(They're worthless now)
[Bridge]
Dm F
In my heart, I can hear you
Am C G
Calling from the dark again
Dm F
Look inside, I'm still with you
Am C G
Right here where I've always been
Fmaj7
Please don't go where i can't follow!
[Chorus]
Quietly
Am Fmaj7
If I can keep you from falling to pieces
C G
Then I'd be saving myself in the process
Am F
And we'll collapse every word 'til we're speechless
C G Am
Because you'll soon find that words are worthless now
Am F
If I can keep you from falling to pieces
C G
Then I'd be saving myself in the process (Worthless now)
Am F
And we'll collapse every word 'til we're speechless
C G Am
Because you'll soon find that words are worthless now
