Verse 1:
E minorEm G+G Cadd9Cadd9
Hourglass inside of my bones
E minorEm G+G Cadd9Cadd9
Trapped inside a picture frame above your throat
E minorEm G+G Cadd9Cadd9
You were someone else when I was too
E minorEm G+G Cadd9Cadd9
Weren't we someone else, wasn't I?
N.C.
Weren't you?

Verse 2:
E minorEm G+G Cadd9Cadd9
But giving up is harder said than done
E minorEm G+G
Throwing stones, set love on fire
Cadd9Cadd9
We thought we'd won
E minorEm G+G Cadd9Cadd9
I thought I was the man that you thought I was too
E minorEm
But he went away
G+G Cadd9Cadd9
He ran away with that girl I thought was you

But we both know this is the life we chose

Verse 3:
E minorEm G+G Cadd9Cadd9
So teary-eyed and desperate we manifest
E minorEm G+G Cadd9Cadd9
Into a creature brought on by fear of a destiny we dread
E minorEm G+G Cadd9Cadd9
Our four walls come down but somehow the roof suspends
E minorEm G+G Cadd9Cadd9
It changed to a cloud, and down comes the rain as we near the end

Verse 4:
E minorEm G+G Cadd9Cadd9
But comin' back from a hit like that's a chore
E minorEm G+G Cadd9Cadd9
When we were trapped inside of a jail cell we both adore
E minorEm G+G Cadd9Cadd9
My head's a mess, I swear it's like a loaded gun
E minorEm G+G
Set to explode at a flick of your soul
Cadd9Cadd9
I'm an awful mess and you said that you're done

Bridge:
G+G
There's a dark cloud over a love I have
C majorC G+G
There's a rain upon my hair
G+G
So wet on top of my head, my Lord
C majorC D MajorD
Let the sun come out instead
G+G
To the east I see the sunrise
C majorC G+G
But the west sunset still falls
G+G
There's a dark cloud over a love I have
C majorC G+G
And it can only last so long
G+G
There's a land of gold where my eyes are set
C majorC G+G
There's a land of gold I see
G+G
Where the streams of water flow into the land
C majorC D MajorD
Where the grass is always green

To the east I see the sunrise
C majorC G+G
But the west sunset still falls
G+G
There's a dark cloud over a love I have
C majorC G+G
But it can only last so long
