Difficulty: Novice

Verse 1:
                G
Did I hurt you that bad, babe?
         C
Did I really mess this up?
                Em
Swear I intended to tread lightly
                  D
But still, I woke the beast in you
                 G
See, I was hoping to save us
              C
I pointed out the dark clouds
                 Em
But you ran into the rain anyway
                  D
And now there's no way out

Pre-Chorus:
                          Em    D
It's not the storm that I can't stand
             G
It's in your reticent manner, man
                Em
I think we both know
         D               C
That the ball is in your court

Chorus:
          G                   C
Honey, it kills me, the radio silence
               Em
I never saw us here
     D                         C
In a world where our lips are sealed
               D
It's harder to heal
              G                     C
When honey it kills me, all of this quiet
I never thought you'd
Em                     D
Go out of your way to stay out of mine
    C
But I'm putting my money on time

Verse 2:
                    G
All my sorries were useless, so I'll hold my breath
                          C
Wait it out and leave you be with all your rage
                   Em
In your lonely and lovelessness
                           D
It's hard to be the one to save you
                      G
Our peers talk of you only in passing
                C
Censoring their stories of your pain
                          Em
But I know all about your bad nights
                                        D
Tendency to slight at the mention of my name

Pre-Chorus:
                         Em
I willingly take all the blame
        D               C
But the ball is in your court

Chorus:
          G                   C
Honey, it kills me, the radio silence
               Em
I never saw us here
     D                        C
In a world where our lips are sealed
               D
It's harder to heal
              G                     C
When honey it kills me, all of this quiet
I never thought you'd
Em                    D
Go out of your way to stay out of mine
    C                       G   C
But I'm putting my money on time
                    Em D C
Put all my money on time

Bridge:
                        F
But with the way it all played out
Was there ever a hope in hell
           G
That you'd keep close
Sit tight and take it well? No
Em                    D
It is a pipe dream at best that you might
              G
Ever get your head around
How it all went down
              F
Though I live guilt-ridden
Wouldn't dare to take it all back
       G              D
As I'd not be where I stand
          C                        D
Nor who I am or where I need to be

Pre-Chorus:
                       G
But that will never be heard, babe
                    C
'Till the day comes when you love again
                       Em
Maybe the saddest, but best part is
                               D
She'll hold you tighter than I ever did back then

Chorus:
          G                   C
Honey, it kills me, the radio silence
               Em
I never saw us here
     D                        C
In a world where our lips are sealed
               D
It's harder to heal
              G                     C
When honey it kills me, all of this quiet
I never thought you'd
Em                    D
Go out of your way to stay out of mine
    C                     G   C
But I put all my money on time
                    Em D C
Put all my money on time
