[Intro]
 C#5   E5   F#5x3
[Verse 1]
C#5I want to waE5tch it all falF#5l until it's dark
C#5You both look exacE5tly the same at nF#5ight
I'd arC#5ranged the bed like croE5sses
Watched them faF#5ll into the floor
It made me C#5stop and forget what wE5e were fighting fF#5or
[Chorus]
It's like everyA5thing that I ever have imAb5agined
Is coming true today
   C#5     E5    F#5x2
[Verse 2]
C#5There is a cE5ost my friF#5end, for liC#5ving out some othE5er dream
To biF#5nd a consequence
It coC#5mes and goes in seaE5sons around F#5here, I thawed again
There's noC#5thing left aE5round to yield a sorry ignF#5orance
[Chorus]
If I A5do let go, I hope you never sAb5ee
There is no C#5one there that's waiting after E5me
And I hA5ope if there is one thing I let Ab5go
It is the way that we cope
 C#5   E5   F#5x4
And I hA5ope if there is one thing that we kAb5now
From the wC#5ay that you and I will wander E5off
And we A5won’t become a lifeless load
That waAb5nders around and hopes for sorrow
    C#5  E5I kno-oF#5-oh x4

[Intro]

C#5 E5 F#5

[Verse 1]

C#5 E5 F#5

I want to watch it all fall until it's dark

C#5 E5 F#5

You both look exactly the same at night

C#5 E5

I'd arranged the bed like crosses

F#5

Watched them fall into the floor

C#5 E5 F#5

It made me stop and forget what we were fighting for

[Chorus]

A5 Ab5

It's like everything that I ever have imagined

Is coming true today

C#5 E5 F#5

[Verse 2]

C#5 E5 F#5 C#5 E5

There is a cost my friend, for living out some other dream

F#5

To bind a consequence

C#5 E5 F#5

It comes and goes in seasons around here, I thawed again

C#5 E5 F#5

There's nothing left around to yield a sorry ignorance

[Chorus]

A5 Ab5

If I do let go, I hope you never see

C#5 E5

There is no one there that's waiting after me

A5 Ab5

And I hope if there is one thing I let go

It is the way that we cope

C#5 E5 F#5

A5 Ab5

And I hope if there is one thing that we know

C#5 E5

From the way that you and I will wander off

And we won’t become a lifeless load

Ab5

That wanders around and hopes for sorrow

C#5 E5 F#5

I kno-o-oh x4
