[INTRO]
Em G C D
Em G C D
[VERSE 1]
G D
I was born before the storm
Em Bm
My mother placed a dozen thorns
C G
The sorry's and the take it back's
C D
Lay silent in her folded hands and
G D
Head to headstone I just danced
Em Bm
Oblivious to consequence
C G
As morning sank into the ground
C D
The highest branch I sought it out
[PRE-CHORUS]
Em Bm
Oh, I didn't mean to let it go
C
I didn't mean to bruise but I lost control
D C D
And when she said to me it still echoes
[CHORUS]
G D C G
All your love may fade away
G D G C D G
All you'll become may all go to waste
Em D C G
So I can't stand to hear you say it hurts
Em D C
When it only gets much worse
D Em D C
It only gets much worse
[VERSE 2]
G D
Oh you caught me come to life
Em B
The moment when your eyes met mine
C G
And from your bed, the sun came in
C D
And to this day it never set
G D
But here's to this I'm used to it
Em Bm
I stepped out for some cigarettes
C G
The neon lights they called me in
C D
Her eyes like yours, just different
[PRE-CHORUS]
Em Bm
And no, I didn't mean to let you go
C
I didn't mean to bruise but I lost control
D
What didn't mean a thing destroyed us both
C D
Darling
[CHORUS]
G D C G
All your love may fade away
G D C G
All you'll become may all go to waste
Em D C G
So I can't stand to hear you say it hurts
Em D C
When it only gets much worse
D Em D C
It only gets much worse
[BRIDGE]
Em Bm
I couldn't quite believe
C
The way you used to pull me down
D C D
And takes its toll
Em
I survived
Bm
The laws of gravity
These jaws of brevity
Am D
I would not let them sink their teeth into my soul
C D
Whoa-oh
[CHORUS]
G D C G
All my love may fade away
G D G C D G
All I'll become may all go to waste
Em D C G
So I can't stand to here and say it hurts
Em D C
When it only gets much worse
D Em D C
It only gets much worse
[CHORUS]
G D C G
All our love may fade away
G D C G
All we'll become may all go to waste
Em D C G
So I can't stand to hear you say it hurts
Em D C
When it only gets much worse
D Em D C
It only gets much worse
