Verse 1:
E
  What's the furthest 
C#m             B G#m A
place from here? 
E           C#m        B G#m A
  It hasn't been my day 
E              C#m
  for a couple years
G#m                A    C#m G#m
   What's a couple more? 


Refrain 1:
         A           C#m
And if I go don't forget 
             A              C#m
the one good thing I almost did
               A            C#m
I learned your name without words
          A           C#m
I used my eyes not my hands

Verse 2:
E                    C#m         B G#m A
  What's the closest you can come
E              C#m        B G#m A
  to an almost total wreck 
E           C#m
  and still walk away
G#m            A    C#m G#m
   All limbs intact? 


Refrain 2:
           A
And when I go you'll be 
C#m          A           C#m
there crying out begging me
        A                 C#m
I won't hear I'll just go fast 
          A               C#m
into this night on broken legs


Chorus 1:
E        C#m             A
  A near miss or a close call? 
         E                C#m
I keep a room at the hospital
             B
I scratch my accidents 
         A
into the wall
E            C#m
  I couldn't wait to 
             A
breathe your breath
         E
I cut in line
          C#m
I bled to death 
         B
I got to you there 
            A
was nothing left

  What's the meanest you can be 
E                C#m          B G#m A
  to the one you claim to love 
E            C#m
  And still smile to 
    G#m               A       C#m G#m
your   your new found friends? 


Refrain 3:
       A              C#m
In the same confusing breath
          A               C#m
You pull away and draw me in
         A              C#m
I wanted you You wanted more

I built this life and now it's mine
