Am G Em
Men you?d see on TV screens were me in the same light
C G D
You were my reminder in this colder corner state
Am G Em
Of the brightness others aim for well outside the gray
C G D
The ground we?re on keeps shifting but our steps still stay in time
Am G Em
For all the ways I?ve missed my aim I know loving you was right
C G D
Now I hear your whisper in this colder corner room
Am G Em
There?s nothing easy in this moment and nothing more to you
G Em
All along we?ve known the way these conversations end
Am C
You can?t deny the shore its tide or sermons there are men
G Em
It?s just as well we tell ourselves there?s not so much to lose
Am C
But I would trade ten thousand days for one more hour with you
(Instrumental)
G Em
All along we?ve known the way these conversations end
Am C
You can?t deny the shore its tide or sermons there are men
G Em
It?s just as well we tell ourselves there?s not so much to lose
Am C
But I would trade ten thousand days for one more hour with you
G Em
We push and pull and give our all to never know for sure
Am C
I try to see the way I bleed as proof enough for me
G Em
Is the truth the thing cash your rings upon quiet afternoons
Am C
We take it home we make our own and throw out what we don?t use
G Em
All along we?ve known the way these conversations end
Am C
You can?t deny the shore its tide or sermons there are men
G Em
It?s just as well we tell ourselves there?s not so much to lose
Am C
But I would trade ten thousand days for one more hour with you
