Gmaj7/F# C/E G5/D
Gmaj7/D C/E G/D
[Verse 1]
Gmaj7/F# C/E G5/D
When there's no comfort in comfortable
Gmaj7/F# C/E G/D
The stolen chances and colored calls
Gmaj7/F# C/E G5/D
You can't invest with your full heart
Gmaj7/F# C/E G/D
You feel it crumble before you start
[Chorus 1]
Gmaj7/B Csus2 G Gadd9 G Gadd9 G Gadd9 G
The path you didn't take, it always ends
Gmaj7/B Csus2 G Gadd9 G Gadd9 G Gadd9 G
Perfect only 'cause you never did
Gmaj7/B Csus2 G Gadd9 G D
The moments that we have will soon be gone
Em7 Csus2
Either you're here or you're not
Gmaj7/F# C/E G5
You're here or you're not
[Verse 2]
Gmaj7/F# C/E G5/D
The floating fire is hard to hold
Gmaj7/F# C/E G/D
Our fingers pass right through its glow
Gmaj7/F# C/E G5/D
There's peace out there somewhere in time
Gmaj7/F# C/E G/D
But I'm as real as you will find
[Chorus 2]
Gmaj7/B Csus2 G Gadd9 G Gadd9 G Gadd9 G
The path you didn't take, it always ends
Gmaj7/B Csus2 G Gadd9 G Gadd9 G Gadd9 G
Perfect only 'cause you never did
Gmaj7/B Csus2 G Gadd9 G D
The moment that we have is almost gone
Em7 Csus2
Either you're here or you're not
G5
Either you're here or you're not
[Interlude]
G5
[Chorus 3]
Gmaj7/B Csus2 G Gadd9 G Gadd9 G Gadd9 G
The path you didn't take, it always ends
Gmaj7/B Csus2 G Gadd9 G Gadd9 G Gadd9 G
Perfect only 'cause you never did
Gmaj7/B Csus2 G Gadd9 G D
The moment that we have is almost gone
Em7 Csus2
Either you're here or you're not
G5
Either you're here or you're not
