Key: E
Introduction:
D Bm G A
I gave my hand for you to hold
D Bm G A
I gave my love that you went and sold
D Bm G
Exchanged our song for another
D Bm G
Can't blame this sad flame that once glowed like no other
Em A
How do you soften
D Bm
The thought of carrying coffins?
Em A
We were so alive
D G
Only to see us wither and die
D Bm G A
You say you'd stand even if this would all fall
D Bm G A
You're yearning, yielded when you hit the wall
D Bm G
I shut your ears, tried to make you hear my call
D Bm G
But you were long gone, no hope in a sunless dawn
Em A
How do you soften
D Bm
The thought of carrying coffins?
Em A
We were so alive
D Bm Em A
Only to see us wither and die
D Bm Em A
Oh, why
D G
must soil run dry
Bm A
And I never ever thought I'd hear these words be said
D G
Now I lay here in an unmade bed
Bm A
Empty stomach's unable to be fed
D G
Your ego swallowed you and from there you fled
Bm A
So far away
D G
Could not find your way back
Bm A
Walked down the path
D G
Where feet slipped through the cracks
D Bm
Where feet slipped through the cracks
G
Could not find your way back
D Bm
Where feet slipped through the cracks
G
Could not find your way back
Em A
How do you soften
D Bm
The thought of carrying coffins?
Em A
We were so alive
D Bm Em A
Only to see us wither and die
D Bm Em A
Oh, why
D G
must soil run dry
