Your To Destroy
View chords used in this chart
[Intro: ]D Bm A G
D Bm
Suddenly I see myself returning
A G
To the scene where I was ridden of this crime
D Bm
Looking at the outline of the chalk drawn on the street
G A Em
I left so much behind here that the silhouette was me
G
I never thought that we were miserable
D Bm Em
But how can two be only in it for themselves?
G D
There is nothing left to say, I've swallowed my tongue anyway
A Bm
Driving out into another state, I can see the road behind me
G Em
Falling back into the same mistake, so hard to avoid
A G
Never will the smallest voice again be silent, yours to destroy
D Bm
Panic followed blindly by depression
A G
When the roads become the buildings in your mind
D Bm
Moving up the elevator to floor sixty-three
G A Em
A metaphor? Yes that is right I still cannot be free
G
On the roof I start to realize
D Bm Em
I may not have a hope at least I have this view
G D
Apologies for what's been said, half of which was in my head
A Bm
Driving out into another state, I can see the road behind me
G Em
Falling back into the same mistake, so hard to avoid
A G D
Never will the smallest voice again be silent, yours to destroy
G D A Bm
And if I have to follow you, you will not rip this heart of mine in two
G
You cannot break this chain
D A D
But you can build a wall to shut me out if you so choose
G D
I know that I have come and gone
A Bm
But I can't keep pulling myself away
G
A noose around my neck
D A
I walk around the city as the night becomes the day
G D
And if you come around I may just not be found.
