Time’s not the villain

I smell fire

Fever’s got me shaking

Looking for forgiveness
C G C
Looking in every cupboard in every room

the top of his lungs
Bb C
And the light is flickering,
Am G
running out

Bridge:
C
Everybody’s looking
for somebody to blame
Bb
The stages of sadness,
how many can you name?
F
I stopped at anger,

never felt the same
C
They say it’ll fade my scars
Bb
My tears will dry and
F
I’ll lie under the stars again
Am
Not wondering where you are,
G
where you are

Put a pretty blanket down,

I’m ready now

I’m ready now

I’m ready now
