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

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