too. If it's too confusing just pretend the parentheses aren't there.

C majorC     (Cmaj7Cmaj7 C majorC Cmaj7Cmaj7 C majorC) A minorAm
Laid our blessings on the ground

  (A5A5 A minorAm A5A5  A minorAm) C majorC
The softening of sound

(Cmaj7Cmaj7 C majorC Cmaj7Cmaj7 C majorC) A minorAm  (A5A5 A minorAm A5A5 A minorAm)
Draws us closed again

C majorC   (Cmaj7Cmaj7 C majorC Cmaj7Cmaj7 C majorC) A minorAm
Stay, stay and watch the coals

(A5A5 A minorAm A5A5 A minorAm)   C majorC
till they cease to glow

(Cmaj7Cmaj7 C majorC Cmaj7Cmaj7 C majorC) A minorAm  (A5A5 A minorAm A5A5 A minorAm)
like empty promises

C majorC           A minorAm
There's nothing I can say

Nothing I can do
          A minorAm
To bring you back again
C majorC            A minorAm
This of life I know is true

It's all a falling through
          A minorAm
and so I reach for you

Don't you care
A minorAm         C majorC
That it may seem unfair?

You steal things you ought to borrow
A minorAm     C majorC
Don't you find
A minorAm         C majorC
That it may seem unkind?
FF                C majorC   G+G
I'd rather breathe than drown in sorrow
