Intro:
Am G F
Am G F
Verse 1:
Am G F
The way that you call, the way that you call out quietly
Am G F
What did you learn? What did you learn from loving me?
Am G F
To move in the world, to move in the world more graciously
Dm F
Your promised return, your promised return ain't much to me
Am G F
But letting you down, letting you down was hell for me
Am G F
The colours of love, the colour of us was gold and green
Am G F
The peace and the birds, the peace and the birds don't visit me
Pre-Chorus:
Dm F
I was winning once, but that's been and gone
Am G
I was playing with the fire that you made for me
Dm
What we running from?
Chorus:
C Dm
I couldn't hold you for the last time and then let you go
Am F
Standing at the turnstile, you looked so alone
C
Oh, to be someone you rely on
Dm F
A hill that we can die on, wait up with the light on
C Dm
Don't wanna know this life without you, I'm not strong enough
Am F
You turn and close your eyes 'cause you can't even look
C
Losing someone to rely on
Dm F
A hill that we could die on, wait up with the light on
Intro:
Am G F
Verse 2:
Am G F
Let me believe, let me believe we'll last the night
Am G F
What do we need? 'Cause there ain't much left to sacrifice
Am G F
But I gotta breathe (I gotta breathe), I better breathe to save my mind
Pre-Chorus:
Dm F
I was winning once, but that's been and gone
Am G Dm
I was playing with the fire that you made for me
F
What we running from?

A hill that we could die on, wait up with the light on
Bridge:
Dm F
I'll admit it once
Am
Then I'll hold my tongue
G Dm
I was clutching at the dream that you'd stay with me
F
And the truth beloved
Am
Is you'll always run
G Dm
Back and forth in my mind every day you breathe
Pre-Chorus:
F Am
I was winning once, but that's been and gone

I was playing with the fire that you made for me

What we running from?

Losing someone to rely on

A hill that we could die on, wait up with the light on
