Introduction:
C#m
You've buried me here
D#m C#m
And I can't turn off my eyes, only sinking
D#m C#m
You've hidden the keys to sleep
D#m C#m
The sweet careful lines we've crossed
D#m
And now we never can go back
verse 1
C#m F#
This is what I felt, just being myself
B G#m G#m7
But I know that you wouldn't stay
C#m F#
Standing at my car with my reasons spent
B G#m G#m7
As you drove and made your escape
C#m F#
The silence crushing me, like I swore it would
G#m
And I'm left watching...
B E
Red lights fading out
(I refuse to accept these excuses you're making)
G#m C#m
As you drive back to your house
(To save yourself from taking blame the only reason that you came at all)
C#m D#m
I'm here sinking and now we never can go back
verse 2
C#m F# B G#m
I chose every word that I knew would hurt but that was a poor choice at best
C#m F# B G#m
This weak disguise, your careless replies that you made at my expense
C#m F#
You swore this was right
G#m
It was better that you're leaving but I'm here with...
B E
Red lights fading out
(I refuse to accept these excuses you're making)
G#m C#m
As you drive back to your house
(To save yourself from taking blame the only reason that you came at all)
B E
And I'm here with my curbside goodbye
G#m
This sting in my eyes won't leave me tonight
C#m
As I stay awake to watch the day start without you
Bridge 1
C#m D#m C#m
I'm here sinking, now we can never go back
D#m C#m
My foundation crippled and cracked
D#m C#m
Broken, severed, bleed out the hurt
D#m C#m
Two people dissolve into words
D#m C#m
Broken, severed, bleed out the hurt
D#m C#m
Two people dissolve into words
B E
Red lights fading out
G#m C#m
As you drive back to your house
Bridge 2
C#m
The way I've gone a hundred times
D#m
Before but now I'm left behind
B E
So make all of this make sense
C#m
And now your voice is haunting me
D#m
Just out of reach it buries me
B E
Is this the better off that you meant?
Bridge 3
C#m
The way I've gone a hundred times
D#m
Before but now I'm left behind
B E
So make all of this make sense
C#m
And now your voice is haunting me
D#m
Just out of reach it buries me
It buries me, it buries me, it buries me, it buries me
C#m D#m C#m
I'm here sinking, we never can go back
C#m D#m C#m
I'm here sinking, we never can go back
C#m D#m C#m
I'm here sinking, we never can go back
C#m D#m
I'm here sinking, we never can go back
