D D6D6 Dmaj7Dmaj7 D6D6
Gmaj7Gmaj7


🎸 Verse 1:
       D MajorD
In and out of focus
        D6D6
Moments that I keep
         Dmaj7Dmaj7
Something for the pain
          D6D6
And something so I sleep
     Gmaj7Gmaj7
Won’t you comfort me?
     Gmaj7Gmaj7
Warm the air that I breathe
      D MajorD
Visceral in doses
       D6D6
Hiding in the seams
        Dmaj7Dmaj7         D6D6
Standing on the sun and I don’t feel a thing
     Gmaj7Gmaj7
Won’t you comfort me?
     Gmaj7Gmaj7
Take the fear I don’t need


🎸 Chorus:
 A augmentedA              A major 6A6
I wake every morning with the years ticking by
  Bm7Bm7                Gmaj7Gmaj7
I’m missing all these memories, maybe they were never mine
 A augmentedA
I feel the walls are closing

I’m running out of the time
 B minorBm              G+G
I think I missed the gun at the starting line


🎸 Instrumental:
D MajorD G+G

🎸 Verse 2:
       D MajorD
Tell me, am I broken?
      D6D6
I can never leave
       Dmaj7Dmaj7
Biting on my tongue and
        D6D6
Checking if it bleeds
   Gmaj7Gmaj7
Is it lost on me?
    Gmaj7Gmaj7
All the things I believe
         D MajorD
Something like an omen
      D6D6
I can never keep
       Dmaj7Dmaj7       D6D6
Moving on and on, so very bittersweet
   Gmaj7Gmaj7
Is it lost on me?
    Gmaj7Gmaj7
All the things I don’t need
