[Verse 1]
I turn up my sDpeakers
So I can drown my thoughts just a little bit qGuicker
Dancing barefoot in the dead of wDinter
So I can numb this heart that's full of spGlinters
[Verse 2]
They say tDime heals
All wounds but these clocks are at a standGstill
And I'm counting every second that yoDu're not here
But only in my dreams do you Gappear
[Pre-Chorus]
Am I aAllowed to lay down my sGmile
And be biAtter just for a whiGle?
[Chorus]
    DDon't keep pulling me under, we were meant to stay aAfloat
I see all the embers, they've not yet lost all their glBmow
Could you try to take a look into my eGyes
         N.C.                     D  
And tell me why oh why why why?
Why oh why why why?G  
Why oh why?A  
[Verse 3]
I close all the wDindows
Draw the curtains hoping that the sGun knows
All I see is you when the day Dglows
Reminding me that you are just a sGhadow
[Verse 4]
When I Dwake
For a split second in time, my heart does not Gache
Thinking you'll be next to me, then I Dshake
To see an empty bed and all over I Gbrake
[Pre-Chorus]
Am I aAllowed to lay down my Gsmile
And be Abitter just for a wGhile?
[Chorus]
    DDon't keep pulling me under, we were meant to stay aAfloat
I see all the embers, they've not yet lost all their gBmlow
Could you try to take a look into my eGyes
         N.C.                     D  
And tell me why oh why why why?
[Bridge]
   DI should have known when you were Emgrinding your teeth
(I should have Bmknown)
That you were hiding your Afeelings from me, oDh
   DI should have known when you were Etossing in your sleep
(I should have Gknown)
That you were hiding your Afeelings from me
[Chorus]
    DDon't keep pulling me under, we were meant to stay Aafloat
I see all the embers, they've not yet lost all their Bmglow
Could you try to take a look into my eGyes
         N.C.                     D  
And tell me why oh why why why?
[Chorus]
    DDon't keep pulling me under, we were meant to stay Aafloat
I see all the embers, they've not yet lost all their Bmglow
Could you try to take a look into my eGyes

[Verse 1]

I turn up my speakers

So I can drown my thoughts just a little bit quicker

Dancing barefoot in the dead of winter

So I can numb this heart that's full of splinters

[Verse 2]

They say time heals

All wounds but these clocks are at a standstill

And I'm counting every second that you're not here

But only in my dreams do you appear

[Pre-Chorus]

A G

Am I allowed to lay down my smile

A G

And be bitter just for a while?

[Chorus]

D A

Don't keep pulling me under, we were meant to stay afloat

I see all the embers, they've not yet lost all their glow

Could you try to take a look into my eyes

N.C.

And tell me why oh why why why?

Why oh why why why?

Why oh why?

[Verse 3]

I close all the windows

Draw the curtains hoping that the sun knows

All I see is you when the day glows

Reminding me that you are just a shadow

[Verse 4]

When I wake

For a split second in time, my heart does not ache

Thinking you'll be next to me, then I shake

To see an empty bed and all over I brake

[Pre-Chorus]

A G

Am I allowed to lay down my smile

A G

And be bitter just for a while?

[Chorus]

D A

Don't keep pulling me under, we were meant to stay afloat

I see all the embers, they've not yet lost all their glow

Could you try to take a look into my eyes

N.C.

And tell me why oh why why why?

[Bridge]

D Em

I should have known when you were grinding your teeth

(I should have known)

A D

That you were hiding your feelings from me, oh

D E

I should have known when you were tossing in your sleep

(I should have known)

That you were hiding your feelings from me

[Chorus]

D A

Don't keep pulling me under, we were meant to stay afloat

I see all the embers, they've not yet lost all their glow

Could you try to take a look into my eyes

N.C.

And tell me why oh why why why?

[Chorus]

D A

Don't keep pulling me under, we were meant to stay afloat

I see all the embers, they've not yet lost all their glow

Could you try to take a look into my eyes

N.C.

And tell me why oh why why why?

Why oh why why why?
