Capo 7

Verse:
G
 Sitting in empty air
             Em
Used to be full of pretty words
How is this room so big
                C
How have we become just him and her
Your name used to light
                D
Me up in ways I didn’t know it could
D
But lately all I’ve felt is astronomically replaceable
G

 You can have petty fights
                  Em
You can have storm out and slam the door
I know I’ve got white lies and
                       C
We know we’ve done its worse so many times before
C
And I’m not over you
I’m under all the lies that weigh me
D
Close to the other side of right

Chorus:
        G     Cadd9
It was like I’d run out of colours
      D
Run out of words
      G
Run out of wonderful things
                Em
And the grace that I bring only burns
         Cadd9
We’ve run out of trying
          D
Have you run out of faith
          G
Coz if I’m tired of running
               Em
You must be tired of hurting this way

Verse:
G
 Can I just start again
             Em
Can we go back to how it was
All I’m finding is loose ends
               C
When we used to hold so strong
And I can’t pin point
                    D
The moment that it all just fell right down
              G
I guess I always let you down

Chorus:
              Cadd9
It was like I’d run out of colours
      D
Run out of words
      G
Run out of wonderful things
                Em
And the grace that I bring only burns
         Cadd9
We’ve run out of trying
          D
Have you run out of faith
          G
Coz if I’m tired of running
               Em
You must be tired of hurting this way

Bridge:
Cadd9     D
I am tired of over thinking
         G
When you leaving next
      Em
Holding my breath
For you to hold me once again
Cadd9     D
I am tired of slowly sinking
D
Underneath your
Pressing need to
      Em
Let me down again

Chorus:
        G     Cadd9
It was like I’d run out of colours
      D
Run out of paint
       G
Coz now every song that I write
                    Em
Fills the space that your words used to take
        Cadd9
I’ve run out of trying
          D
Have you run out of faith
          G
Coz If I’m tired of running
               Em
