♫ Intro:

D

♫ 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

♫ 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


♫ Post-chorus:
                  Bm D A G
But I want you to go
Em           D              A
  Don't even ask me, just go


♫ 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


♫ 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


♫ Post-chorus:
                  Bm D A G
But I want you to go
Em           D              A
  Don't even ask me, just go
 G
Ooh


♫ 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


♫ 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


♫ 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
