Capo 7
[Verse]
 GSitting in empty air
Used to be full of pretty Emwords
How is this room so big
How have we become just him and Cher
Your name used to light
Me up in ways I didn’t know it Dcould
DBut lately all I’ve felt is astronomically replaceable 
 GYou can have petty fights
You can have storm out and slam the Emdoor
I know I’ve got white lies and
We know we’ve done its worse so many times beCfore
CAnd I’m not over you                                    
I’m under all the lies that weigh me
DClose to the other side of right
[Chorus]
It was like I’d Grun out of Cadd9colours
Run out of Dwords
Run out of Gwonderful things
And the grace that I bring only Emburns
We’ve run out of Cadd9trying
Have you run out of Dfaith
Coz if I’m tired of Grunning
You must be tired of hurting Emthis way
[Verse]
 GCan I just start again
Can we go back to how it wEmas
All I’m finding is loose ends
When we used to hold so stronCg
And I can’t pin point
The moment that it all just fell right Ddown
I guess I always let you doGwn
[Chorus]
It was like I’d run out of cCadd9olours
Run out of Dwords
Run out of Gwonderful things
And the grace that I bring only Emburns
We’ve run out of Cadd9trying
Have you run out of Dfaith
Coz if I’m tired of Grunning
You must be tired of hurting Emthis way
[Bridge]
Cadd9I am tired of Dover thinking
When you leaving Gnext
Holding my Embreath
For you to hold me once again
Cadd9I am tired of Dslowly sinking
DUnderneath your
Pressing need to 
Let me down Emagain
[Chorus]
It was like I’d Grun out of Cadd9colours
Run out of Dpaint 
Coz now every Gsong that I write 
Fills the space that your words used to Emtake
I’ve run out of Cadd9trying
Have you run out of Dfaith
Coz If I’m tired of Grunning
You must be tired of hurting Emthis way

Cadd9

Capo 7

[Verse]

Sitting in empty air

Used to be full of pretty words

How is this room so big

How have we become just him and her

Your name used to light

Me up in ways I didn’t know it could

But lately all I’ve felt is astronomically replaceable

You can have petty fights

You can have storm out and slam the door

I know I’ve got white lies and

We know we’ve done its worse so many times before

And I’m not over you

I’m under all the lies that weigh me

Close to the other side of right

[Chorus]

G Cadd9

It was like I’d run out of colours

Run out of words

Run out of wonderful things

And the grace that I bring only burns

Cadd9

We’ve run out of trying

Have you run out of faith

Coz if I’m tired of running

You must be tired of hurting this way

[Verse]

Can I just start again

Can we go back to how it was

All I’m finding is loose ends

When we used to hold so strong

And I can’t pin point

The moment that it all just fell right down

I guess I always let you down

[Chorus]

Cadd9

It was like I’d run out of colours

Run out of words

Run out of wonderful things

And the grace that I bring only burns

Cadd9

We’ve run out of trying

Have you run out of faith

Coz if I’m tired of running

You must be tired of hurting this way

[Bridge]

Cadd9 D

I am tired of over thinking

When you leaving next

Holding my breath

For you to hold me once again

Cadd9 D

I am tired of slowly sinking

Underneath your

Pressing need to

Let me down again

[Chorus]

G Cadd9

It was like I’d run out of colours

Run out of paint

Coz now every song that I write

Fills the space that your words used to take

Cadd9

I’ve run out of trying

Have you run out of faith

Coz If I’m tired of running

You must be tired of hurting this way
