A
I saw the light dance on your face
          E
Paint the shadows of your shape
              F#m                     A
Back when the season made the days so long

         A
And if I knew my time would come
                 E
With the lines rehearsed but never sung
              F#m
I'd leave the chorus on your tongue
  A
I swear

            F#m              D               A     E                
Now I look around to see the ground beneath my feet
              F#m             D           A    E
Every second takes a thousand days away from me
                  F#m
And if I close my eyes
           D     A     E
I hear the gates swing wide
                     F#m
And by the morning light
            D    A    E
I will have seen both sides


f#m--D-A-
C#m

           F#m                D              A    E
I've got a funny feeling that it's my day to leave
F#m                D                     A    E
Shoulders down the sweat drips across my cheek
     F#m                  D                   A  E
As I turn I can taste the salt in the shallow sea
             F#m                    E
I feel their hearts beating next to me
           F#m           E
I hear the chatter of my teeth

            F#m              D               A     E                
Now I look around to see the ground beneath my feet
          F#m               D                 A    E
The final thrill, the quiet spill, the vile retreat
               F#m           D    A    E
Do you see the waves running away from me?
               F#m             D   A E
You taste the cold here in the air I breathe
                  F#m                D  A   E
Why'd you let me go? 'Cause I can no longer see


And I scream
F#m   D
Oh my god
A     E
Oh my god
F#m   D
Oh my god
A     E
Oh my god
F#m   D
Oh my god
A     E
Oh my god

            F#m              D               A     E                
Now I look around to see the ground beneath my feet
             F#m              D           A    E
Every second takes a thousand days away from me
                  F#m
And if I close my eyes
           D     A     E
I hear the gates swing wide
                     F#m
And by the morning light
            D    A    E
I will have seen both sides
                     F#m
So why'd you let me go?
         D  A   E
I can no longer see
                  F#m D A E A E
And I can't breathe
