Tuning: Standard, capo 6th fret
[Verse 1]
FEveryone sees, but only I know
CNothing to lose, nothing to save to G/Dmake a whole
FWhat if I should make a loss?
CHold up both my hands, my fG/Dingers crossed
I don't sFleep well, laying low
Never kCeepin' up, never lG/Dettin' go
What if FI should look away?
CEvery human touch will G/Dbe repayed
[Pre-Chorus]
Without resFtraint
Within our Gveins
[Chorus]
AmWe bide our time, stay afloat
AmKeepin' the sun up off our bones
GI never asked to know, never planned
GTill it was swept out of my hand
AmWe bide our time, stay afloat
AmKeepin' the dying light exposed
GI never asked to know, never lied
GSo I could keep you on my side
[Post-Chorus]
We feel the Fsame
Without restGraint
We feel the Fsame
Within our vGeins
[Verse 2]
FEveryone comes, but only I stay
CNowhere to look, nowhere to turn to G/Dfall away
FWhat if I should call it off?
CHold up my demands with my G/Dheart uncrossed

Never kCeepin' up, never lG/Dettin' go
What if FI should let it fade
CEvery human touch will G/Dbe repayed
