[Verse]
Fm
It kills me not to know this
G#
but I've all but just forgotten
C#
What the color of her eyes were
G# D#
and her scars or how she got them
Fm
As the telling signs of age rain down
G#
a single tear is dropping
C#
Through the valleys of an aging face
G# D#
that this world has forgotten
[Interlude]
Fm G# C# G# D# 2x
[Verse]
Fm G#
There is no reconciliation that will put me in my place
C#
And there is no time like the present
G# D#
to drink these draining seconds
Fm
But seldom do these words ring true
G#
when I'm constantly failing you
C#
Like walls that we just can't break through
G# D#
until we disappear
[Pre-Chorus]
C#
So tell me now
D# C#
If this ain't love then how do we get out?
D#~
cause' I don't know
[Chorus]
Fm
That's when she said I don't hate you boy
G#
I just want to save you
C# G#
while there's still something left to save
D# Fm
That's when I told her I love you girl
G#
But I'm not the answer
C#
for the questions that you still have
G# D#
Whoa whoa
[Interlude]
Fm G# C# G# D#
[Verse]
Fm
But the day pressed on like crushing weights
G#
For no man does it ever wait
C#
Like memories of dying days
G# D#
That deafen us like hurricanes
Fm
Bathed in flames we held the brand
G#
Uncurled the fingers in your hand
C#
Pressed into the flesh like sand
G# D#
Now do you understand?
[Pre-Chorus]
C#
So tell me now
D# C#
If this ain't love then how do we get out?
D#~
cause' I don't know

[Verse]
Fm G#
1000 miles away
C#
There's nothing left to say
G# D#
But so much left that I don't know
Fm G#
We never had a choice
C#
This world is too much noise
G#
It takes me under
D# Fm~
It takes me under once again
[Interlude]
