I Bbpicked up the Gmphone, you were D#both on the line
Your Bbwords to each Gmother D#froze me in time
A lifetime beFtween us just D#burnt on the wires
DisGmsolved in a Fdial tone, conD#sumed in your fires
Your Bbfootsteps beGmside me, the D#phone in my hand
I can't Gmmove, FI can't D#stand
Our faces in pieces, facades on the floor
The pretense between us for a moment destroyed
I don't want to go on with these words in my heart
But the ghost of your anger will tear us apart
How my little world just went up in smoke
I'm too young, I'm too old
GmOne day Fsoon I'll D#know
GmOne day Fsoon I'll D#just let it go
I run from the bedroom with legs paralyzed
I carve out my future part prophet, part blind
It's nobody's business, no one is to blame
We'll meet in the distance, new numbers new names
I've lifted the veil, I've walked through the fire
I'll move on, I'll go higher

Bb Gm D#

I picked up the phone, you were both on the line

Bb Gm D#

Your words to each other froze me in time

F D#

A lifetime between us just burnt on the wires

Gm F D#

Dissolved in a dial tone, consumed in your fires

Bb Gm D#

Your footsteps beside me, the phone in my hand

Gm F D#

I can't move, I can't stand

Our faces in pieces, facades on the floor

The pretense between us for a moment destroyed

I don't want to go on with these words in my heart

But the ghost of your anger will tear us apart

How my little world just went up in smoke

I'm too young, I'm too old

Gm F D#

One day soon I'll know

Gm F D#

One day soon I'll just let it go

I run from the bedroom with legs paralyzed

I carve out my future part prophet, part blind

It's nobody's business, no one is to blame

We'll meet in the distance, new numbers new names

I've lifted the veil, I've walked through the fire

I'll move on, I'll go higher
