Intro:

Bm7 Em7

Verse 1:
Bm7                                            Em7
Midnight paints your worn-out goodbyes
Bm7                                            Em7
Your bruised wrists and covered lies
Bm7                                                          D     D/C#      Bm7
Your dreams flood with sorrow that just can't quite be disguised
G                                       A
And your lashes tremble as you lay by my side

Verse 2:
Bm7                                            Em7
I swallowed pride and pills, and time stood still
Bm7                                            Em7
The one light in this motel lights up our dreams being killed
Bm7                                         D     D/C#   Bm7
Your breath hits my soul like hymns not sang
G                                               A
While my mind races through the days I tried but couldn't save

Chorus:
D                       D/C#   Bm                    Bm/A
Tell me where it hurts, tell me where it burns
G                                                  A
Shakedown all my heartbeats, ravage all my words
D                       D/C#   Bm                    Bm/A
We're both scared and broken, but I’ll hold you till the end
G                                                     A
Even if we don’t like our answers, I’ll love you like we’re friends

Instrumental:
Bm7 Em7

Bridge:
G                       A
Your body shutters, you say never mind
G                                       A
Your heart dancing around the hope I can’t give, just like mine
D                                       Em
I know I can’t make you see what you won’t choose
G                               A
I’ll stand here quietly with no answers to lose
D                               A
I’ll wait by your side and I won’t try to change the past
D                               A
If you need me here I’ll be here as long as this lasts

Verse 3:
Bm7                                            Em7
You talk about rings, like the one I gave you ain't drowned
Bm7                                            Em7
Sneak off in the night like when we'd hide from this town
Bm7                                         D     D/C#   Bm7
Build something for our kids to call home
G                                       A
Addicted to voices and vices, but you're forcing me to make you fight this one on your own

Chorus:
D                       D/C#   Bm                    Bm/A
Tell me where it hurts, tell me where it burns
G                                                  A
Shakedown all my heartbeats, ravage all my words
D                       D/C#   Bm                    Bm/A
We're both scared and broken, but I’ll hold you till the end
G                                                     A
Even if we don’t like our answers, I’ll love you like we’re friends
