C                       Em          G
Say it like you mean it even if you don’t. 
G                                  D     
Tell me everything I want to hear. 
C                                    Em                G
Tell me everything will be the same, that I won’t be alone. 
G                    D
Say it will be fine.


[Verse]
C
I can’t take another let down. 
Em                G                                 D
Give me something solid I can feel beneath my feet. 
C                                Em         G   D  C
Give me something I can stand on before you go. 


[Chorus]
C                  G      
Know this son, the hard truth of life, 
        C                   G
is that everyone leaves and everything dies. 
      C                      G
There is no exception to the passing of time. 
      C                                  G
Every last leaf will fall and light will fade from your eyes.


[Verse]
C                      Em           G
You never told me that anything was easy. 
G                        D  
Sometimes I wish you had
C
It might have been nice to feel safe inside,
   Em       G                                     D  C  G
but I guess everything is different looking back. 


[Chorus]
C                  G      
Know this son, the hard truth of life, 
        C                   G
is that everyone leaves and everything dies. 
      C                      G
There is no exception to the passing of time. 
      C                                  G
Every last leaf will fall and light will fade from your eyes.


[Outro]
C    G
Fall away. 
C    G
Fall away. 
C    G
Fall away. 
C    G     C
Fall away.
