β™« Intro: D β™« Verse 1: Em D I don't remember the timeline A G Just December and the eastern skyline Em D A It was just my time to go Em D It wasn't even a cold night A G Disappointed in the northern nights Em D A I always thought there'd be snow Em D 400 people on a broken wheel A G When the plane touched down in a concrete minefield Em D A I guess we all made it out okay Em D Following the streets to a silver of blue A G You can lose the sky and it can lose you too Em D A But you get a little lost to find you a way
β™« Chorus: Em D I'm living in a war with time A G I could still reach out and touch you Em D A And I wish I didn't know the things I know Em D I'm standing in an open door A G None of it was overrated Em D A And I'm never gonna wanna let you go β™« Post-chorus: Bm D A G But I want you to go Em D A Don't even ask me, just go β™« Verse 2: Em D I don't remember the faces A G Just the anger and the haunted places Em D A So alive I could taste it on the rain Em D Even the roaches come from somewhere A G Leaving a stain where the angels fell Em D A In the city where no one knows your name β™« Chorus: Em D I'm living in a war with time A G I can still reach out and touch you Em D A And I wish I didn't know the things I know Em D I'm standing in an open door A G None of it was overrated Em D A And I'm never gonna wanna let you go β™« Post-chorus: Bm D A G But I want you to go Em D A Don't even ask me, just go G Ooh β™« Bridge: Bm A Hold their eyes, make sure they know G Stand your ground but see the soul Bm A Beneath the pain and broken home G With every drop of rain and bone Bm A Square your shoulders, turn to stone G Slowly shake your head for no Bm A When you find yourself alone G Retrace your steps and come back home β™« Chorus: Em D I'm living in a war with time A G I can still reach out and touch you Em D A And I wish I didn't know the things I know Em D I'm standing in an open door A G None of it was overrated Em D A And I'm never gonna wanna let you go β™« Outro: Bm D A G But I want you to go Em D A I want you to go (I know you want me to) Bm D A G And I want you to go (Go) Em D A I want you to go D Don't even ask me, just go
