[Verse]
C majorC
There is no great thing, to stop and sing
C majorC
Waiting for the rain
C majorC
And this perfect pill, it's all too much
C majorC    FF - A minorAm - G+G SLIDE BETWEEN CHORDS FF - A minorAm - G+G - G+G - C majorC
On the edge again,     don't look away
C majorC
Couldn't help but note the coldest thing
C majorC
In your precious face
C majorC
Why do you always speak when you have no grace
C majorC
In your precious face


[Chorus]
FF    A minorAm      G+G
But even in the dark I saw you were the only one alone
FF       A minorAm          G+G
But these hot gates you spit your vitriol though your swore you wouldn't do this anymore
FF       A minorAm     G+G
And I can't be for you all of the things you want me to
FF          A minorAm         G+G
But I will love you constantly There's precious little else to me
  A minorAm    G+G      C majorC       A minorAm - G+G - C majorC
And though we cry, we must stay alive


[Verse]
C majorC
Another fragile edge, and a tender sound
C majorC
And then you went aground
C majorC
Near a duller blade, a promise out of sight
C majorC
There's nothing here for you tonight

[Chorus]
FF    A minorAm      G+G
But even in the dark I saw you were the only one alone
FF       A minorAm          G+G
But these hot gates you spit your vitriol though your swore you wouldn't do this anymore
FF       A minorAm     G+G
And I can't be for you all of the things you want me to
FF          A minorAm         G+G
But I will love you constantly There's precious little else to me
  A minorAm    G+G      C majorC
And though we cry, we must stay alive


[Bridge]
  A minorAm    G+G      C majorC
And though we cry, we must stay alive
    A minorAm    G+G        C majorC
Let my blood only run out when my world decides
     A minorAm   G+G      C majorC
There is no way out of your only life
    A minorAm    G+G
So run on, run on

FF - A minorAm - G+G - G+G  x 4


[Outro]
A minorAm - G+G - C majorC - C majorC  x 2
