[VERSE 1:]

G C

The city sleeps

D G

So silently

C D G

Wish I could say the same for me

C D G

But I've got this dead ended street

C D

To keep searching for

Am C D

A tunnel underneath the bitter truth

Am C D

Or a bridge invisible I won't fall through

[CHORUS:]

C D

And I don't know how much I can keep

G Em

Letting you unravel me

Am D G

'Cause the more you learn the more we share

C D

We were worlds apart and you see

G Em

It was so much easier to be

Am D G

'Cause now I know what we can't have and it's so unfair

- D -

[VERSE 2:]

I never meant

C D G

Most of those pretty words I said

C D G

But I wanted you to think I did

C D G

'Cause telling you all this makes no difference, oh

C D

It's useless, oh

Am C D

'Cause those who get to know our hearts the most

Am C D

They always seem to be the ones we'll never hold

[CHORUS:]

C D

And I don't know how much I can keep

G Em

Letting you unravel me

Am D G

'Cause the more you learn the more we share

C D

We were worlds apart and you see

G Em

It was so much easier to be

Am D G

'Cause now I know what we can't have and it's so unfair

[BRIDGE:]

Am Em

Can't you see it's destroying me?

C D

I can't stand the closeness, oh

Am Em

But don't you dare go avoiding me

C D

It kills me and yet it keeps me going

[CHORUS:]

C D

And I don't know how much I can keep

G Em

Letting you unravel me

Am D G

'Cause the more you learn the more we share

C D

We were worlds apart and you see

G Em

It was so much easier to be

Am D G

'Cause now I know what we can't have and it's so unfair
