Verse 1:
 C majorC
I called you today
 A minorAm
Wanting a change
 G+G
I never meant to hurt anyone
   G+G
Never meant for you to pull out your guns
  C majorC
But feelings won't stay
    A minorAm
In this meager parade
    G+G
You're beating to a different drum
    G+G                A minorAm
In this lack of all the luster we've become

Pre-Chorus:
     D MajorD
Save your breath
          A minorAm
You know we've both
     D MajorD
Tried our best

But it's leaving


Chorus:
   G+G
This might as well be done
  FF
I'm falling with the sun
        C majorC              G+G
When the hours getting sour won't save with time
    G+G
And I'm waving off the one
  FF
Who wouldn't let me run
         C majorC            A minorAm    D MajorD
Though we tried, it's a lie I can't keep dragging on
             C majorC
I'm untying this sinking stone

Repeat intro phrase::
C majorC D MajorD E minorEm G+G

Verse 2:
   C majorC
Don't sit on the fence
A minorAm
Living past tense
G+G
Holding on to wishes and words
G+G
Folding out a picture we blur
   C majorC
Cause here in the end
  A minorAm
I'm losing a friend
G+G
Fighting back a tear when it burns
 G+G              A minorAm
Dividing up the pieces that we were

Pre-Chorus:
     D MajorD
Save your breath
          A minorAm
You know we've both
     D MajorD
Tried our best

But it's leaving


Chorus:
   G+G
This might as well be done
  FF
I'm falling with the sun
        C majorC              G+G
When the hours getting sour won't save with time
  G+G
I'm waving off the one
  FF
Who wouldn't let me run
         C majorC            A minorAm    D MajorD
Though we tried, it's a lie I can't keep dragging on
             C majorC
I'm untying this sinking stone

A minorAm G+G D MajorD

Bridge:
    C majorC
I can't say you're all alone
   A minorAm
I'm accepting what I own
      G+G         D MajorD
Here lies a blanket and not a bandage

   C majorC
I'm unable to restrain
     A minorAm
When the wake that we became
  D MajorD
Is drawing me under


Chorus:
   G+G
This might as well be done
  FF
I'm falling with the sun
        C majorC              G+G
When the hours getting sour won't save with time
  G+G
I'm waving off the one
  FF
Who wouldn't let me run
         C majorC            A minorAm    D MajorD
Though we tried, it's a lie I can't keep dragging on

   G+G
This might as well be done
  FF
I'm falling with the sun
        C majorC              G+G
When the hours getting sour won't save with time
  G+G
I'm waving off the one
  FF
Who wouldn't let me run
         C majorC            A minorAm    D MajorD
Though we tried, it's a lie I can't keep dragging on
