 Fâ'¯m                       A          E

V1	I called you today
	   D
	Mourning a change
	   Bm
	I never meant to hurt anyone
	         A
	Never meant for you to pull out your guns

	But feelings won't stay
	       D
	In this meager parade
	         Bm
	You're beating to a different drum
 	      A
	In this lack of all the luster we've become
	                                       Bm

R1	Save your breath
	Bm           E
	You know we've both
                           Bm
	Tried our best
		   E
	But it's leaving
	 no chords

C1	This might as well be done
	       A
	I'm falling with the sun
	    Em/G
	When the hours getting sour won't save with time
	                       D                      A
	And I'm waving off the one
	A
	Who wouldn't let me run
		Em/G 
	Though we tried, it's a lie I can't keep dragging on
		                  D                 Bm       E
	I'm untying this sinking stone...
 	      no chords                     as intro

V2	Don't sit on the fence
	Living past tense
	Holding on to wishes and words
	Folding out a picture we blur
	Cause here in the end
	I'm losing a friend
	Fighting back a tear when it burns
	Dividing up the pieces that we were

R2	Save your breath
	You know we've both
	Tried our best
	But it's leaving

	
C2	This might as well be done
	I'm falling with the sun
	When the hours getting sour won't save with time
	I'm waving off the one
	Who wouldn't let me run
	Though we tried, it's a lie I can't keep dragging on
	I'm untying this sinking stone...
            

	I can't say you're all alone
	         D (play top A)
	I'm accepting what I own
	      E7 (play top A)
	Here lies a blanket not a bandage
		          A    F#m  E
	I'm unable to restrain
	      D (play top A)
	When the wake that we became
		E7 (play top A)
	Is drawing me under
	      Bm       ( E )don't play
	
C3	This might as well be done
	I'm falling with the sun
	When the hours getting sour won't save with time
	I'm waving off the one
	Who wouldn't let me run
	Though we tried, it's a lie I can't keep dragging on
	
C4	This might as well be done
	I'm falling with the sun
	When the hours getting sour won't save with time
	I'm waving off the one
	Who wouldn't let me run
	Though we tried, it's a lie I can't keep dragging on
	I'm untying this sinking stone...
