[Verse]
I calEled you today
WaC#mnting a change
I neBver meant to hurt anyone
Never mBeant for you to pull out your guns
But feeElings won't stay
In this meC#mager parade
You're beaBting to a different drum
In this lBack of all the luster we've become
SEave your breath
YC#mou know we've both
TrEied our best
But it's lF#eaving
This miBght as well be done
I'm faAlling with the sun
When the hours getEting sour won't save wiC#mth time
And I'm waBving off the one
Who woulAdn't let me run
Though we tried, it's a Elie I can't keep draC#mgging F#on
I'm untying this sinking stEone...
Don't siEt on the fence
LC#miving past tense
HolBding on to wishes and words
FolBding out a picture we blur
Cause heEre in the end
I'm loC#msing a friend
FighBting back a tear when it burns
DiviBding up the pieces that we were
SEave your breath
YC#mou know we've both
TrEied our best
But it's leF#aving
This Bmight as well be done
I'm falAling with the sun
                 E                     C#m
When the hours getting sour won't save with time
I'm waBving off the one
Who wouAldn't let me run
Though we tried, iEt's a lie I can't keep dC#mragging F#on
I'm untying this sinking sEtone...
I can't sEay you're all alone
I'm accC#mepting what I own
Here lies a bBlanket not a bAandage
I'm unaEble to restrain
When the wC#make that we became
Is drawing me uEnder
This miBght as well be done
I'm faAlling with the sun
When the hours gEetting sour won't save with C#mtime
I'm waBving off the one
Who wouAldn't let me run
Though we tried, iEt's a lie I can't keep dC#mragging F#on
This miBght as well be done
I'm faAlling with the sun
When the hours gEetting sour won't save with C#mtime
I'm waBving off the one
Who wouAldn't let me run
Though we tried, iEt's a lie I can't keep dC#mragging F#on
I'm untying this sinking stone...

C#m

[Verse]

I called you today

C#m

Wanting a change

I never meant to hurt anyone

Never meant for you to pull out your guns

But feelings won't stay

C#m

In this meager parade

You're beating to a different drum

In this lack of all the luster we've become

Save your breath

C#m

You know we've both

Tried our best

But it's leaving

This might as well be done

I'm falling with the sun

E C#m

When the hours getting sour won't save with time

And I'm waving off the one

Who wouldn't let me run

E C#m F#

Though we tried, it's a lie I can't keep dragging on

I'm untying this sinking stone...

Don't sit on the fence

C#m

Living past tense

Holding on to wishes and words

Folding out a picture we blur

Cause here in the end

C#m

I'm losing a friend

Fighting back a tear when it burns

Dividing up the pieces that we were

Save your breath

C#m

You know we've both

Tried our best

But it's leaving

This might as well be done

I'm falling with the sun

E C#m

When the hours getting sour won't save with time

I'm waving off the one

Who wouldn't let me run

E C#m F#

Though we tried, it's a lie I can't keep dragging on

I'm untying this sinking stone...

I can't say you're all alone

C#m

I'm accepting what I own

B A

Here lies a blanket not a bandage

I'm unable to restrain

C#m

When the wake that we became

Is drawing me under

This might as well be done

I'm falling with the sun

E C#m

When the hours getting sour won't save with time

I'm waving off the one

Who wouldn't let me run

E C#m F#

Though we tried, it's a lie I can't keep dragging on

This might as well be done

I'm falling with the sun

E C#m

When the hours getting sour won't save with time

I'm waving off the one

Who wouldn't let me run

E C#m F#

Though we tried, it's a lie I can't keep dragging on

I'm untying this sinking stone...
