VERSE

   D MajorD
if i thought it would help i would drive this car into the sea


if the fire and smoke and explosions could speak for me

               A augmentedA         B minorBm           A augmentedA
if the words that i used to try to explain how something inside of me started to break

     G+G       A augmentedA
ah, but one by one my words just got in the way

D MajorD  A augmentedA G+G  A augmentedA


 G+G           A augmentedA         D MajorD
how many nights did i crash against the waves with my head going under

 G+G          A augmentedA             D MajorD
how many days did i spend trying to see it your way, if you try you remember

  B minorBm           A augmentedA        G+G              A augmentedA       B minorBm
i changed and changed and kept on saying "one of these days something inside's gonna break"

    A augmentedA           G+G   A augmentedA
and we won't get it back now, baby (something's gonna break)


CHORUS

   B minorBm              A augmentedA           G+G   A augmentedA
if i thought it would help i would carve your name into my heart

     B minorBm              A augmentedA           G+G   A augmentedA
and if i thought it would help i would carve your name into my heart

 D MajorD            A augmentedA          B minorBm           A augmentedA
all of the things that i tried to explain how something inside of me started to break

     G+G          A augmentedA       D MajorD  A augmentedA  G+G
we were living proof, one by one we drifted away

    A augmentedA          D MajorD  A augmentedA  G+G  A augmentedA
one by one we drifted away

VERSE 2

G+G              A augmentedA               D MajorD
time after time there were things that would scare me to tears, while you called me haunted

G+G          A augmentedA       D MajorD
i paced around the bed where you laid

             G+G      A augmentedA
one of these days, baby, something? (something's gonna break)


CHORUS

   B minorBm              A augmentedA            G+G    A augmentedA
if i thought it would help i would carve your name into my heart

     B minorBm              A augmentedA            G+G    A augmentedA
and if i thought it would help i would carve your name into my heart

D MajorD             A augmentedA          B minorBm           A augmentedA
all of the things that i tried to explain how something inside of me started to break

     G+G          A augmentedA
we were living proof, one by one we drifted away


BRIDGE

F#F#       G+G      B minorBm       A augmentedA
?drifted away, drifted away? one by one and day by day

  G+G           A augmentedA        D MajorD
i became the dark in the places where you live


CHORUS

   B minorBm              A augmentedA            G+G   A augmentedA
if i thought it would help i would carve your name into my heart

     B minorBm               A augmentedA           G+G   A augmentedA
and if i thought it would help i would carve your name into my heart

D MajorD             A augmentedA          B minorBm           A augmentedA
all of the things that i tried to explain how something inside of me started to break

     G+G          A augmentedA       D MajorD   A augmentedA  G+G
we were living proof, one by one we drifted away

    A augmentedA       D MajorD   A augmentedA  G+G
one by one we drifted away

     G+G
we were living proof

    A augmentedA       D MajorD
one by one we drifted away
