Verse 1:

Am G

If we run far away do you

think we will ever die?

We'll throw these

books in the fire

Can you stop the train

Cause it some delay?

Am G

The change machine lied

F Em

And it's too late to scream

How long is the night?

It's never over

The ribbon was tied

C Dm

But the card was never read

It's never over

The ribbon was crimson

The color of the night

Verse 2:

Can you see the

C F

handwriting on the walls

Em Dm

And on the autumn leaves that fall

Dm C

"What are we gonna do?"

B Am

The trees are giving up on us

C G

The needle and the thread

Won't stitch us to the branch

And the night never ends

Dm C

"What are we gonna do?"

B Am

The trees are giving up on us

G F

The needle and the thread

Won't stitch us to the branch

Dm C

And the night never ends

the night never ends

It never ends

Dm C Dm Dm-- x2

night it never ends

Bridge:

Am Dm F

I will never sleep again

(Repeat x4)

Am G

If the sun is on its way

Then we will never die

And we'll follow these

tracks to the sight

Now the lungs collapse

And the air is getting thin

Am G

All breath expired

F Em

Is too late to heal?

Verse 4:

F Em

It's all I ever see anymore

But the day was so

Em Am

bright in the pictures

In the photo album that you gave me

F Em

It's all I have to live for

Outro:

I'm falling down

And you're not sad

to break my fall

I shut my eyes

when you're around

I hold my breath

to kill the sound

I'm falling down

And you're not here

to catch my fall

I shut my eyes

when you're around

I hold my breath

to kill the sound

I'm falling down

And you're not here

(hold)

to catch my fall
