[Verse]
GI'd like to have more than I’ve Dgot
I'd like to think I'm plenty Cbut I’m not
I've reached caDpacity
GI've worn myself down to the sDkin
I wish it suited me to bCuckle, then
Succumb to hDistory
[Pre-Chorus]
I kAmnow
I've more to sGhow
A word to upDhold
I have a pCromise and the tDime to let it grAmow
Steady or slGow
There's no platDeau
If I am hoCnest
Been a lDong time feeling
CDead
With no vision in my hDead
A canvas stained in rCed
All wisdom left unsDaid
[Chorus]
So it's a bit of enCigma I need
To draw the gDold out of my greed
A miraculous eCnigma I'd call it
If Dit could save me at all
C D C D
[Verse]
GWhat happened to my leap of faDith
What happened to the steps I mCeant to take
To get to whDere you've been
GI never meant to live a lDie
I never wanted that to bCe goodbye
So can we mDeet again
[Pre-Chorus]
I’ve hoAmused
Unfounded dGoubt
Since breaking Dout
Feels like the paCtience, the reDserve is soon to drAmought
And counting dGown
To another roDund
If I don’t brCeak through
I won't mDeet you, I’ll be
CDead
With no vision in my hDead
A canvas stained in rCed
All wisdom left unsaDid
It said
[Chorus]
That it's a bit of an enCigma I need
To draw the gDold out of my greed
A miraculous enCigma I'd call it
If Dit could heal me at all

C D C D
[Bridge]
FTo all the locks and clGosed doors
And exit sAmigns
To living lCifeG  
FTo all the steps erased and pGaths retraced
And songs to be unAmdone
The line will be redCrawn
One day I'm gGonna walk beyoFnd
I’m gonna miss you when I'm gGone
I'm gonna see you moving Amon
I'm gonna miss you when I'm gCone
I will recGall and think of Fus
I'm gonna love you when we're dGone
I'm gonna miss you when I'm gAmone
I'm gonna miss you when I'm gCone
I'm gonna mGiss you when I'm

It's a bit of an enCigma I need
To draw the gDold out of my greed
A miraculous enCigma I'd call it
If Dyou still want me at all

I'm gonna miss you when I'm gGone

[Verse]

G D

I'd like to have more than I’ve got

I'd like to think I'm plenty but I’m not

I've reached capacity

G D

I've worn myself down to the skin

I wish it suited me to buckle, then

Succumb to history

[Pre-Chorus]

I know

I've more to show

A word to uphold

C D Am

I have a promise and the time to let it grow

Steady or slow

There's no plateau

If I am honest

Been a long time feeling

Dead

With no vision in my head

A canvas stained in red

All wisdom left unsaid

[Chorus]

So it's a bit of enigma I need

To draw the gold out of my greed

A miraculous enigma I'd call it

If it could save me at all

C D C D

[Verse]

G D

What happened to my leap of faith

What happened to the steps I meant to take

To get to where you've been

G D

I never meant to live a lie

I never wanted that to be goodbye

So can we meet again

[Pre-Chorus]

I’ve housed

Unfounded doubt

Since breaking out

C D Am

Feels like the patience, the reserve is soon to drought

And counting down

To another round

If I don’t break through

I won't meet you, I’ll be

Dead

With no vision in my head

A canvas stained in red

All wisdom left unsaid

It said

[Chorus]

That it's a bit of an enigma I need

To draw the gold out of my greed

A miraculous enigma I'd call it

If it could heal me at all

C D C D

[Bridge]

F G

To all the locks and closed doors

And exit signs

C G

To living life

F G

To all the steps erased and paths retraced

And songs to be undone

The line will be redrawn

G F

One day I'm gonna walk beyond

I’m gonna miss you when I'm gone

I'm gonna see you moving on

I'm gonna miss you when I'm gone

G F

I will recall and think of us

I'm gonna love you when we're done

I'm gonna miss you when I'm gone

I'm gonna miss you when I'm

C D C D

[Chorus]

It's a bit of an enigma I need

To draw the gold out of my greed

A miraculous enigma I'd call it

If you still want me at all

[Outro]

C D C D

(Woah, woah, oh woah)

I'm gonna miss you when I'm gone
