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

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