Intro:
E MajorE D MajorD C# minorC#m

Verse 1:
E MajorE                A augmentedA        E MajorE
This was once a simple love song starting out so sweet
           A augmentedA           E MajorE
Then somewhere in the middle I came up incomplete
             A augmentedA          C majorC
The fleeting nature of forever, a conditional pledge
D MajorD          E MajorE
Now I find it was a gamble without a lover’s hedge

Verse 2:
E MajorE                A augmentedA      E MajorE
I let the words sink in and they sort of made sense
              A augmentedA           E MajorE
She’d had different ways to tell me she was on the fence
              A augmentedA              C majorC
Now it’s something like acceptance but it’s never quite real
D MajorD            E MajorE
I still feel her in the background not allowing me to heal

Chorus:
A augmentedA      BB         A augmentedA        BB
Wind blowing off the lake as I try to clear my head
E MajorE        A augmentedA      E MajorE         BB
Reaching for the answers with questions there instead
A augmentedA           E MajorE       C# minorC#m   BB     A augmentedA
(and I’ll) Rewrite the ending try to bend the space and time
  E MajorE         A augmentedA    BB    A augmentedA     E MajorE
And I might change the tune but I can’t change the rhyme

Instrumental:
E MajorE D MajorD C# minorC#m E MajorE D MajorD C# minorC#m

Verse 3:
E MajorE                A augmentedA        E MajorE
So I planned to turn the corner I’m not a hanger on
              A augmentedA           E MajorE
Still I hear the whispered question is she really gone?
            A augmentedA    BB             C majorC
Now I’m staring at the darkness but there’s still a little light
D MajorD          E MajorE        BB    E MajorE
Breaking through the sadness it won’t leave my sight

Chorus:
A augmentedA      BB         A augmentedA        BB
Wind blowing off the lake as I try to clear my head
E MajorE        A augmentedA      E MajorE         BB
Reaching for the answers with questions there instead
A augmentedA           E MajorE       C# minorC#m   BB     A augmentedA
(and I’ll) Rewrite the ending try to bend the space and time
  E MajorE         A augmentedA    BB    A augmentedA     E MajorE
And I might change the tune but I can’t change the rhyme

Instrumental:
A augmentedA BB A augmentedA BB E MajorE A augmentedA E MajorE BB

A augmentedA           E MajorE       C# minorC#m   BB     A augmentedA
(and I’ll) Rewrite the ending try to bend the space and time
  E MajorE         A augmentedA    BB    A augmentedA     E MajorE
And I might change the tune but I can’t change the rhyme
