[Intro]
N.C. 
[Verse]
TAhese walls, they could close in
This whole room could swallow usD  
I Alit a fire and now everything's turned to dustD  
YoAu're pacing the basement
There's no one, no, it's just usD  
YoAu said the best thing you've learned
Is to know when you've given upD  
[Pre-Chorus]
They shout, "We will wait if you come. Slow down with the rest of us. We need you for once."

[Intro]

N.C.

[Verse]

These walls, they could close in

This whole room could swallow us

A D

I lit a fire and now everything's turned to dust

You're pacing the basement

There's no one, no, it's just us

You said the best thing you've learned

Is to know when you've given up

[Pre-Chorus]

They shout, "We will wait if you come. Slow down with the rest of us. We need you for once."

D Dsus2

Death is creeping up and that's just what you'll get

A Asus2

That's why I'm always looking back, cause I'm not finished yet

D Dsus2

There's a static in the air and it's deafening

A Asus2

There's a million people dancing while I'm fast asleep

They are laughing, the next big somethings

[Verse]

A D

A door in the sky, a canvas that is finished to me

A D

You know, we end up being who we are pretending to be

A D

You stay for the memory but only for what you want to see

We are lost in a whisper

Forgotten, like we are meant to be

[Pre-Chorus]

[Chorus]

D Dsus2

There's a thick, dark cloud hanging over the show

A Asus2

I see their eyes fill with confusion but soon they'll know

D Dsus2

She would tell me "it's alright, we will get through this"

A Asus2

I still think about her, just me and my silhouette

[Outro]

We were giants, I know we didn't fall for nothing
