(Intro)
Eb Cm
The sky was hung with brazen stars,
Gm Ab
like Christmas lights on trees
Eb Cm
You hung out too till the morning came,
Gm Ab
till the sun fell in on me
Fm Gm Ab
And all of our highs can't erase
Fm Gm Ab
our lows in these darkening days
(INTERLUDE)
Eb Cm Gm Ab
(Verse)
Eb Cm
Ferris wheels and night time bars,
Gm Ab
we live on separate times
Eb Cm
Our peers around us grew up so dull,
Gm Ab
that we left our lives behind
(Pre-Chorus)
Fm Gm Ab
The weight of your crystal heart
Fm Gm Ab
The train ride that sets us apart
Eb Cm
And I held you for a moment
Eb Cm
lost, "like tears in the rain"
Eb Cm
And you slept upon the sofa,
Bb Cm Ab
and I never slept again
(I'm tired)
(INTERLUDE)
Eb Cm Gm Ab
(Verse)
Eb Cm
You're making out in your fathers car,
Gm Ab
we're making out i'm fine
Eb Cm
I saw you out at the show last night
Gm Ab
I just ignore you all the time
Eb Cm
Mary look what
Gm Ab
they've done to me
Eb Cm
This world has turned on me
Gm Ab
and now I drink the life I taste
(Pre-Chorus)
Fm Gm Ab
The cracks in the walls disappear
Fm Gm Ab
The days turn to weeks, turn to years
Eb Cm
And I held you for a moment
Eb Cm
lost, "like tears in the rain"
Eb Cm
And you slept upon the sofa,
Bb Cm Ab
and I never slept again
(I'm tired)
Bb Cm Ab
and I never slept again
(I'm tired)
(INTERLUDE)
Eb Gm Ab Bb
Eb Gm Ab Bb
(BREAK)
Eb
Well my mind goes blank and my eyes roll back,
Gm Ab Bb
when i'm sober I don't know what to say
Eb
I'll text you miserable things when I'm out
Gm Ab Bb
drinking then lay cringing all the following day
Eb
I want to disappear when we end up hear,
Gm Ab Bb
conversation just becomes such an ache
Eb
We're only vulnerable to those who approach us
Ab Bb
until they realise there's no heart to break
Eb Cm
And I held you for a moment
Eb Cm
lost, "like tears in the rain"
Eb Cm
And you slept upon the sofa,
Bb Cm Ab
and I never slept again
(I'm tired)
Eb Cm
And I held you for a moment
Eb Cm
lost, "like tears in the rain"
Eb Cm
And you slept upon the sofa,
Bb Cm Ab
and I never slept again
(I'm tired)
(OUTRO)
Eb Cm
Mary look what
Gm Ab
they've done to me
Eb Cm
This world has turned on me
Gm Ab
and now I drink the life I taste
