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

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