[Verse 1]
ConverGsations, running Cwild through my Gmind
Am I Ccoming off unGkind, or is Emit just in my Dhead?
LonelGiness, rushing Cin just like the Gtide
I need some Ctime to unGwind, but not eEmnough to bring me back to where I Dwas
[Pre-Chorus]
But EmI can Dsee it Cstill
I swear that EmI can see it Dstill
[Chorus]
But you can't Cchange the Gway the Dwind blows through the Emtrees
And how Cwith it we Gscatter through the Dworld like autumn Emleaves
But if you Csta-Ga-ay Dclose to Emme
I promise CI will always Dkeep the engine Grunning
[Verse 1]
There was a Gtime when we were Call the best of Gfriends
We had no Cneed to preGtend, but Emit's not like that Dnow
Cutting Gties, I never Cmeant to see it Gend
But it was Ctoo hard to Gspend so much Emtime trying to fit into a Dlie
[Pre-Chorus]
But EmI can Dsee it Cstill
I swear someEmtimes I want it Dstill
[Chorus]
But you can't Cchange the Gway the Dwind blows through the Emtrees
And how Cwith it we Gscatter through the Dworld like autumn Emleaves
But if you Csta-Ga-ay Dclose to Emme
I promise CI will always Dkeep the engine Grunning
[Verse 3]
I am Clooking Gback on the Dlives that we lived Emthen
How did Cwe lose Gtrack of how it Dfelt to still be Emfriends
Oh please Ctake me Gback to the Dcarefree days of Emsummer
Before we Clearned that distance signified the beDginning of the end
[Chorus]
Yeah, you can't Cchange the Gway the Dwind blows through the Emtrees
And how Cwith it we Gscatter through the Dworld like autumn Emleaves
But if you Csta-Ga-ay Dclose to Emme
I promise CI will always Dkeep
[Chorus]
Yeah, you can't Cchange the Gway the Dwind blows through the Emtrees
And how Cwith it we Gscatter 'cross the Dcountry like autumn Emleaves
But if by Cchance our Gpaths happen to Dcross Emor meet
I swear that CI will always Dkeep
I swear that CI will always Dkeep
I promise CI will always Dkeep the engine Grunning

[Verse 1]

G C G

Conversations, running wild through my mind

C G Em D

Am I coming off unkind, or is it just in my head?

G C G

Loneliness, rushing in just like the tide

C G Em D

I need some time to unwind, but not enough to bring me back to where I was

[Pre-Chorus]

Em D C

But I can see it still

Em D

I swear that I can see it still

[Chorus]

C G D Em

But you can't change the way the wind blows through the trees

C G D Em

And how with it we scatter through the world like autumn leaves

C G D Em

But if you sta-a-ay close to me

C D G

I promise I will always keep the engine running

[Verse 1]

G C G

There was a time when we were all the best of friends

C G Em D

We had no need to pretend, but it's not like that now

Cutting ties, I never meant to see it end

But it was too hard to spend so much time trying to fit into a lie

[Pre-Chorus]

Em D C

But I can see it still

Em D

I swear sometimes I want it still

[Chorus]

C G D Em

But you can't change the way the wind blows through the trees

But if you sta-a-ay close to me

I promise I will always keep the engine running

[Verse 3]

C G D Em

I am looking back on the lives that we lived then

C G D Em

How did we lose track of how it felt to still be friends

C G D Em

Oh please take me back to the carefree days of summer

C D

Before we learned that distance signified the beginning of the end

[Chorus]

C G D Em

Yeah, you can't change the way the wind blows through the trees

And how with it we scatter through the world like autumn leaves

C G D Em

But if you sta-a-ay close to me

I promise I will always keep

[Chorus]

C G D Em

Yeah, you can't change the way the wind blows through the trees

C G D Em

And how with it we scatter 'cross the country like autumn leaves

C G D Em

But if by chance our paths happen to cross or meet

C D

I swear that I will always keep

C D

I swear that I will always keep

C D G

I promise I will always keep the engine running
