[Verse]
Can we stF#mand remaining braced against the fAixtures
Of a thousand vacant gEestures meant to strengthen our rF#mesolve
And as the nF#mights begin to replicate the lAost adventure kissed by fate
And the Eempty rooms and corners cast their F#mscorn at every turn
[Pre-Chorus]
ENobody waits to hear an F#manswer
ENo one has the time to spDare
[Chorus]
And now the mAinutes bleed to days time’s just a cDonstruct anyways
I’ve been a F#mfool these winds grow cEolder every yDear
I just need a plAace where I can hide remind mysDelf I really tried
So don’t be asF#mhamed who’s truly hEappy anywDay?
F#m
[Verse]
F#mLike fools we dared to prAomise
not to take our days for grEanted or to spend a night in vF#main
But the wF#mords we speak when we begin betrAay the walls now closing in
And the Eair becomes encumbered with the inF#mevitable end
[Pre-Chorus]
EAnd we speak of different plDaces
[Chorus]
And now the mAinutes bleed to days time’s just a cDonstruct anyways
I’ve been a F#mfool these winds grow cEolder every yDear
I just need a plAace where I can hide remind mysDelf I really tried
So don’t be asF#mhamed who’s truly hEappy anywDay?
F#m  D

[Outro]
DOur greatest lives Eyet to be lived
Your brDeath is like a song tEoo soon to forgive
And DI’m still hanging on to the phEotographs and words
You knDow I wish you well, and I Egot what I deserved

[Verse]

F#m A

Can we stand remaining braced against the fixtures

And the empty rooms and corners cast their scorn at every turn

Nobody waits to hear an answer

No one has the time to spare

[Chorus]

And now the minutes bleed to days time’s just a construct anyways

So don’t be ashamed who’s truly happy anyway?

F#m

[Verse]

F#m A

Like fools we dared to promise

E F#m

not to take our days for granted or to spend a night in vain

But the words we speak when we begin betray the walls now closing in

And the air becomes encumbered with the inevitable end

[Pre-Chorus]

E D

And we speak of different places

[Chorus]

A D

And now the minutes bleed to days time’s just a construct anyways

I’ve been a fool these winds grow colder every year

So don’t be ashamed who’s truly happy anyway?
