GYou seem unsure of yourselfC  
Standing off to the sideEm  
Your eyes shining D/F#brightly towards me
GTell me who broke your heartC  
And left you all on your ownEm  
With a view of D/F#love still fading
EmWe've got to figure this outC  
Why in every Gtown, the sky is fDalling
In and all arEmound us
Could iCt be, you and GI are the ones to blDame?
     Em        C        G      D(x2)
At times we know which Emway the wind is leadingC  
It draws us Gin with a swift, cool Dbreeze
And passing through our Emlungs, fills our chests with a new Cbeat,
To shrug off the Gdarkness beneath our Dfeet
And what of romance?  EmIs it worth pursuiCng?
When even the Gright ones end up being wDrong?
It seems we've made a Emmess of what's more than a feeCling
Oh my Ggod, does it break your Dheart?
The distance here is EmgrowingC  
And we're in danger of Gmissing what good is Dleft
The ones who stay while EmknowingC  
Just what an awGful mess we can Dbe
So let's Emslow down, to tCake in
The Gair we've been quick to Ddismiss
We're falling faster EmnowC  
But this is hardly the Gend, Doh
Em    C     G     D
It's more than simple EmdistanceC  
When I've found the Gwater's up to my Dneck
I'm running purely on persEmistenceC  
Hoping faith will Gforce forward each Dstep
So shake your Emmind from slowly sCinking under
GThere's no time to Dsleep and wonder
EmWhat would life be Clike had I been Gbrave?D  
The distance here is EmgrowingC  
And we're in danger of Gmissing what good is Dleft
The ones who stay while EmknowingC  
Just what an Gawful mess we can Dbe
So let's Emslow down, to Ctake in
The Gair we've been quick to disDmiss
We're falling faster Emnow,C  
But this is hardly the Gend,     Doh
So what if Emchange is simply Clooking forward
And Gletting go of Dwhat doors have been EmclosedC  
Maybe courage lies in Gmoving on
Even Dthough your fear begs Emnot toC  
G    D
The distance here is EmgrowingC  
And I'm afraid that the Gmemory of your Dkiss
Will be enough to Emstop meC  
G      D

D/F#

G C

You seem unsure of yourself

Standing off to the side

D/F#

Your eyes shining brightly towards me

G C

Tell me who broke your heart

And left you all on your own

D/F#

With a view of love still fading

Em C

We've got to figure this out

G D

Why in every town, the sky is falling

In and all around us

C G D

Could it be, you and I are the ones to blame?

Em C G D

(x2)

Em C

At times we know which way the wind is leading

G D

It draws us in with a swift, cool breeze

Em C

And passing through our lungs, fills our chests with a new beat,

G D

To shrug off the darkness beneath our feet

Em C

And what of romance? Is it worth pursuing?

G D

When even the right ones end up being wrong?

Em C

It seems we've made a mess of what's more than a feeling

G D

Oh my god, does it break your heart?

Em C

The distance here is growing

G D

And we're in danger of missing what good is left

Em C

The ones who stay while knowing

G D

Just what an awful mess we can be

Em C

So let's slow down, to take in

G D

The air we've been quick to dismiss

Em C

We're falling faster now

G D

But this is hardly the end, oh

Em C G D

Em C

It's more than simple distance

G D

When I've found the water's up to my neck

Em C

I'm running purely on persistence

G D

Hoping faith will force forward each step

Em C

So shake your mind from slowly sinking under

G D

There's no time to sleep and wonder

Em C G D

What would life be like had I been brave?

Em C

The distance here is growing

G D

And we're in danger of missing what good is left

Em C

The ones who stay while knowing

G D

Just what an awful mess we can be

Em C

So let's slow down, to take in

G D

The air we've been quick to dismiss

Em C

We're falling faster now,

G D

But this is hardly the end, oh

Em C

So what if change is simply looking forward

G D Em C

And letting go of what doors have been closed

Maybe courage lies in moving on

D Em C

Even though your fear begs not to

G D

Em C

The distance here is growing

G D

And I'm afraid that the memory of your kiss

Em C

Will be enough to stop me

G D
