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

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