[Verse 1]
C#mThe sky keeps Astaring at F#mme
Frozen in my trEacks
(Nothing else to F#msee)
C#mAnd when I Amove my face F#mleft
You're always standing Ethere
(A shadow I can't F#msee)
C#mAnd even Athen I can't F#mtrace
You're walking EawayF#m  
[Verse 2]
C#mI put my Aears to the F#mground
Always pushing Edown
(Nothing I can F#mhear)
C#mI found the Aworst half in F#mme
I'm cut off at the Eknees
(Can't even take a F#mstand)
C#mAgainst your Awords and F#mbeliefs
I didn't want to EfreezeF#m  
[Chorus]
C#m(All of the G#myears, C#mleaving me G#mhere
C#mGun-G#mshy)
C#mI   G#don't want to F#msay it all Eagain (the pain, losing my aim)
F#mNever seem to Esee
(And why?) C#mDo I G#always feel it F#mall the Esame
The F#mblisters in my Eeyes
(Recite) C#mA guide G#that has only F#mled me Estray
And F#meven as I Elimp (you smile)
[Verse 3]
C#mThe cold Akeeps tearing at F#mme
Slowing down my Eblood
(Unable to F#mspeak)
C#mI left my Amind long F#mago
Choosing something Efalse
(Always letting F#mgo)
C#mAnd when I Atry to face F#myou
You're walking EawayF#m  
[Chorus]
C#m(All of the G#myears, C#mleaving me G#mhere
C#mGun-G#mshy)
C#mI   G#don't want to F#msay it all Eagain (the pain, losing my aim)
F#mNever seem to Esee
(And why?) C#mDo I G#always feel it F#mall the Esame
The F#mblisters in my Eeyes
(Recite) A C#mguide that G#has only F#mled me Estray
And F#meven as I Elimp (you smile)

F#m

G#m

[Verse 1]

C#m A F#m

The sky keeps staring at me

Frozen in my tracks

F#m

(Nothing else to see)

C#m A F#m

And when I move my face left

You're always standing there

F#m

(A shadow I can't see)

C#m A F#m

And even then I can't trace

E F#m

You're walking away

[Verse 2]

C#m A F#m

I put my ears to the ground

Always pushing down

F#m

(Nothing I can hear)

C#m A F#m

I found the worst half in me

I'm cut off at the knees

F#m

(Can't even take a stand)

C#m A F#m

Against your words and beliefs

E F#m

I didn't want to freeze

[Chorus]

C#m G#m C#m G#m

(All of the years, leaving me here

C#m G#m

Gun-shy)

C#m G# F#m E

I don't want to say it all again (the pain, losing my aim)

F#m E

Never seem to see

C#m G# F#m E

(And why?) Do I always feel it all the same

F#m E

The blisters in my eyes

C#m G# F#m E

(Recite) A guide that has only led me stray

F#m E

And even as I limp (you smile)

[Verse 3]

C#m A F#m

The cold keeps tearing at me

Slowing down my blood

F#m

(Unable to speak)

C#m A F#m

I left my mind long ago

Choosing something false

F#m

(Always letting go)

C#m A F#m

And when I try to face you

E F#m

You're walking away

[Chorus]

C#m G#m C#m G#m

(All of the years, leaving me here

C#m G#m

Gun-shy)

C#m G# F#m E

I don't want to say it all again (the pain, losing my aim)

F#m E

Never seem to see

C#m G# F#m E

(And why?) Do I always feel it all the same

F#m E

The blisters in my eyes

C#m G# F#m E

(Recite) A guide that has only led me stray

F#m E

And even as I limp (you smile)
