|Intro| Dm Verse: Dm Gm I asked you for a single name Dm You struck the match and fed the flame Gm The sudden flare lit up the doubt A# Before the fire sputtered out Dm Gm You took a drag and held it deep Dm A secret that you want to keep Gm The silence stretches on the floor A# D I don't know you anymore Chorus: Gm Watch the answer start to climb A# A grey rope running out of time D It twists and curls into the shade F See how the honest moments fade Gm It was solid, now it’s thin A# Blurring out where we have been D Rising up to hit the wood F Gm Dm Misunderstood, misunderstood
Verse: You build a wall with every breath Starving the narrative to death I saw a sentence in the plume But now it’s scattered round the room A cloudy veil across your eyes To hide the size of all the lies The ceiling holds what you won't say Turning the black night into grey Bridge: Open the window to the street Let the cold and warm air meet Whatever was true is drifting loose Slipping its neck inside the noose Chorus: Watch the answer start to climb A grey rope running out of time It twists and curls into the shade See how the honest moments fade It was solid, now it’s thin Blurring out where we have been Rising up to hit the wood Misunderstood, misunderstood Verse: Just a smudge upon the glass Watching the heavy hours pass It’s in the curtains It’s in the clothes That’s how it goes That’s how it goes Chorus: Watch the answer start to climb A grey rope running out of time It twists and curls into the shade See how the honest moments fade It was solid, now it’s thin Blurring out where we have been Rising up to hit the wood Misunderstood, misunderstood
