                Freakin beautiful song, this is how I play it acoustic
Tailored sheEmets, to fit this dirty bed, Cadd9  D  
for once this dirt won't come all off 
I can’t be pushed aside.
Em              Cadd9              D
CWind is blowing thru closed doors 
With shDadows dancing in the hall Am  G  
Now hit the floorC, crawl to the side, We've all 
made better Ammoves despite the sloGwing of our feet.
          EmFor DOnce, lets leave the dreamiGng to someone elsAme, 
Our time has slipped away, We’re sinking faster, faster no more play,
 Get ready for the catch, I'm at the next step, waiting for our year
    Em     DAnd Emall at oDnce 
it leaves you breathless, 
With next to nothing, 
but open hands.
