Intro, Pluck:
F Dm A# C x2
Verse1:
F Dm A#
I gave my hand for you to hold
F Dm A#
I gave my love that you went and sold
F Dm A#
Exchanged our song for another
F Dm A#
Can't blame this sad flame that once glowed like no other
Chorus:
Gm C
How do you soften
F A#
The thought of carrying coffins?
Gm C
We were so alive
F A#
Only to see us wither and die
Same as intro, Pluck:
F Dm A# C
Verse:
F Dm A#
You say you'd stand even if this would all fall
F Dm A#
You're yearning, yielded when you hit the wall
F Dm A#
I shut your ears, tried to make you hear my call
F Dm A#
But you were long gone, no hope in a sunless dawn
Chorus:
Gm C
How do you soften
F A#
The thought of carrying coffins?
Gm C
We were so alive
F A# Gm C
Only to see us wither and die
F A# Gm C
Oh, why
F A#
must soil run dry
Bridge pt1:
Dm C
And I never ever thought I'd hear these words be said
A#
Now I lay here in an unmade bed
Dm C
Empty stomach's unable to be fed
A#
Your ego swallowed you and from there you fled
Dm C
So far away
A#
Could not find your way back
Dm C
Walked down the path
A#
Where feet slipped through the cracks
Bridge pt2:
F Dm
Where feet slipped through the cracks
Am A#
Could not find your way back
F Dm
Where feet slipped through the cracks
Am A#
Could not find your way back
Chorus:
Gm C
How do you soften
F A#
The thought of carrying coffins?
Gm C
We were so alive
F A# Gm C
Only to see us wither and die
F A# Gm C
Oh, why
F A#
must soil run dry
Same as intro, Pluck:
F Dm A# C x2
