Introduction:
G C
You seem unsure of yourself
Em
Standing off to the side
D/F#
Your eyes shining brightly towards me
G C
Tell me who broke your heart
Em
And left you all on your own
D/F#
With a view of love still fading
Em C
We've got to figure this out
G D
Why in every town, the sky is falling
Em
In and all around us
C G D
Could it be, you and I are the ones to blame?
Em C
At times we know which way the wind is leading
G D
It draws us in with a swift, cool breeze
Em C
And passing through our lungs, fills our chests with a new beat,
G D
To shrug off the darkness beneath our feet
Em C
And what of romance? Is it worth pursuing?
G D
When even the right ones end up being wrong?
Em C
It seems we've made a mess of what's more than a feeling
G D
Oh my god, does it break your heart?
Em C
The distance here is growing
G D
And we're in danger of missing what good is left
Em C
The ones who stay while knowing
G D
Just what an awful mess we can be
Em C
So let's slow down, to take in
G D
The air we've been quick to dismiss
Em C
We're falling faster now
G D
But this is hardly the end, oh
Em C
It's more than simple distance
G D
When I've found the water's up to my neck
Em C
I'm running purely on persistence
G D
Hoping faith will force forward each step
Em C
So shake your mind from slowly sinking under
G D
There's no time to sleep and wonder
Em C G D
What would life be like had I been brave?
Em C
The distance here is growing
G D
And we're in danger of missing what good is left
Em C
The ones who stay while knowing
G D
Just what an awful mess we can be
Em C
So let's slow down, to take in
G D
The air we've been quick to dismiss
Em C
We're falling faster now,
G D
But this is hardly the end, oh
Em C
So what if change is simply looking forward
G D Em C
And letting go of what doors have been closed
G
Maybe courage lies in moving on
D Em C
Even though your fear begs not to
Em C
The distance here is growing
G D
And I'm afraid that the memory of your kiss
Em C
Will be enough to stop me
