It is really late and I am bored. I was playing this song and figuring it out
when I got lazy and looked on here for the tab. There was only the intro/verse
which I already had figured out so I decided I might as well post it up here as I
figure it out. So here it is. I'm pretty sure it is 100% accurate. Goodnight. My
eyes are falling shut.

Conor continues to play this through the verse, but for easy reading I will just
have the lyrics and chords. He finger picks most of the song except in the chorus
when he hits the E he strums.
Last Saturday I stAood in your entry wayBm
That place where we used to waitF#m
For cars to carry us Eaway
Like once in this storm, they Adrove me and Justin homeBm
The music was just being bornF#m
It was all I was Elonging for
Now I’m on a planeA
Off singing my songs again, Bmoh please don’t think ill of itF#m
Cause it’s the reason I eExists
But you, you’re the crutch of a criApple, You're the calm of a conscience
You're the peace thBmat I have found
When all these voices talk F#mtoo loud you are quietly reassuring meE
With the hands oAf a healer and the tongue of a teacher
It’s your voice Bmthat I have known
To be the first oF#mne on the phone. Yeah, you ran all the lights to the hospital E
A G#
So don't you say to me C#m F#
That life's a trap
The future is nothing but a tragedy B
'Cause I'll be out of that window E
Yeah, I'll start wishing to die again F#m
Just say we're not walking backwards, kid C#m
And show Bme to the door
And I'll walk behind E
Out into the hot sunliF#mght
Where the world's very much alive C#m
Even when G#I close my eyes A E
Intro 1x
Well, should I admit A
That my promise is counterfeit Bm
That I'm careless and childish F#m
And that's all I can hopEe to be
And would you concede A
That I think only of myself Bm
I refuse everybody's heF#mlp
Who has been reaching out Efor me
Well, you reach with the soul of a sailor aAnd the swing of a miner
You have cleared Bmthe rock away
Leaving gold tF#mhere in its place
And it is more tEhan anyone could claim
Oh, with the sense of a Abanker and with the touch of a tailor
You savBmed this life for me
And you have sown it to F#mbeauty
And I am grateful Enow and I will always be
A G#
So would you sing with me C#m F#
The song is all I know
Some truths are told now only in a melody B
So I've been writing a new one E
Yeah, I've been taking my time with it F#m
It's gonna be so perfect C#m
It's gonna hold all of us iBnside of it
You will see E
If you just add your harmony F#m
I think it would be completC#me
And be worthy G#of singing A E
BecomG#es a symphony A E
Yeah, you're the cool of the wAater, you're the start of the summer
Keep me still liBmke an anchor. In a storm you're the cellar
When I'm heavy wiF#mth worry make me light as a feather
When I'm deafened Eby anger you're the song I remember
With the grace oAf a dancer and the strength of a pillar
When I'm starving Bmto suffer you just fill me with laughter
You're a poet aF#mnd a saint
You are the only one EI choose to imitate
Oh, like the love of Aa father through the eye of a camera
It's this picBmture I have seen
We're on a sloping F#mhill of green
E (intro 1x then end on A )
And you are walking there beside me
